Writer
"I do not have a future, and I do not want dreams. My dreams are stories, written by a machine. And I will not think of her." Luke Kierley has visited the writer and asked it to exorcise from him all memory of her. Now he has no idea who she was and he must try to find a way to live with a bleeding hole in his memory. Told in a unique voice that recalls southern gothic, classic horror, and frontier literature, Writer is like nothing you have read before. JM Burgoyne's debut brings her virtuosic voice alive in a striking and unforgettable meditation on free-will, love, and the lengths we'll go to avoid pain.
