The Disappearing Disease
Year: 2025
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This series of connected essays explores the aesthetic of fragmentation, not as a means to disrupt narrative, but as a means to stretch that narrative. It includes both lyric and traditional forms, along with a series of flash essays that puncture the present action with moments from the past. The essays vary tonally, from the serious to the comic, and though they are connected through first person narration, they are more connected thematically, through an exploration of sexuality, faith, idealism and its loss, and the ways in which gender is performed.
