Unveiling Truths Amid Chaos: Ed Simon’s Radical Take on Writing in the Apocalypse
Simon argues that the humanities are more important than ever now. “We must initiate a ‘New Curating’ to preserve what could be lost in the coming darkness. If everything else closes, some of us would do well to try and man the library.” This New Curating would also gather as many experiences as possible, like the taste of a snowflake on your tongue, or the seasons and the months of the year. I would also argue that the humanities will help us learn to infuse any style/genre of writing with an understanding or undercurrent of the Great Unravelling, like Charlotte McConaghy’s novels, for example.
