Novelette One DescriptionWhat if the collapse of a distant civilization were to be...tragedy captured in transmission? Say again? Well, in 'The Varett Jasirg Calamity', the first novelette of the 'Civil Ends' series, Alder Frank delivers a genre-defying work of risky literature, poetic philosophy, the conduction of narrative testing, and the one thing you never bring to space...dry comedy...through the lens of the Uortijnaq experiments and the enigmatic figure of Varett Jasirg with this report exploring the limits of identity, memory, and meaning. As a hybrid of fancy philosophy and meta-tale, an investigation into descriptive form and reader cognition, not a story in the traditional sense, in fact a diffusion controlled by the smartrecordset device layered in echoes of a civilization unraveling, collapsing, reforming in the shadow of research, the first novelette of six in series chronicling the tragic chain reactions of the Uortijnaq trials - an allegorical exploration of identity, disintegration, and rebirth, written in fragments, poetic interludes, pseudo-scientific articles and typographic madness challenging one to crave depth, engage with complexity, ambiguity, the confines of language itself, and the electrification of decoding an empire's final broadcast - is not for those with an ailing gorepump. After first 'decrypting the smartrecordset's guidance system' (your author has already engaged this part), aka simply start reading the product, thereby entering the past, traveling far, orbiting Enuvorsin, never dare landing, witnessing the calamity, and surviving a possible gorepump attack, to combat ones possible ensuing insomnia, binge on themes of post-human identity, language as weapon, provisional metaphysics, an amble of parched absurdity, the finishing textbook touches (especially for fans of Jeff VanderMeer, Samuel R. Delany, Octavia Butler, and those of tentative creative writing) to be found, along with clarity in the chaos, meaning in the limits, truth in the contradictions, and comfort in the experiment, all with an extremely fine point placed.
