“A Phone of the Artist as a Young Man is a dizzying descent into digital madness, where one man’s screen addiction and artistic ambitions collide in a genre-bending exploration of love, technology, and the disintegration of the modern mind. It’s the first ever long-form screenshot.”
Do you believe this??
Hi, is this your book?
yep
what do you mean, do you believe this?
downloaded a pdf of your book, interested to see what it’s about
so you kinda lied in your speech about almost every word not adhering to grammar. that’s fine, just wanted to note it.
you need to keep reading. if a normal book is 99% grammatically correct, my book is 15% correct and i consider that worth stating at a launch.
fair enough. But what did you mean when you asked ‘do you believe this?’
Is it even possible for a book to be a screenshot? if you do believe it then it’s probably worth reading the book, if you don’t then it’s also worth reading to see if your mind can be changed. kinda just a marketing hook.
ahh i see. yeah dont try and sell me my guy. I want to engage with your book properly. I’ve downloaded it but it’s late here and I’m working on my own stuff. I’ve skimmed a bit though, am I wrong in thinking it’s meant to be a literary exploration of the each and every single thought we have as we doomscroll?
im actually super interested in that metalabel thing you’re published through. Can you tell me about it?
yeah kind of the intersection of thought and the physical touch-response mechanism of using an iPhone. I was reading a bit of McLuhan at the time and the tactile aspect of media consumption is underappreciated with regard to language. Joyce’s innovations were necessary to render this.
Highly recommend it ! Super easy people to reach out to and the platform itself is intuitive to use. Just a matter of having lots of supporting content to have around the main release, otherwise it looks a little careless.
