' Louis is a failed novelist, which wouldn't be the case if he'd stop messing with tense and obscuring the narrative. e was a theatre reviewer, and he'd still be doing that if a black box hadn't been invented that runs on an algorithm having it write perfect reviews. His girlfriend would still be around if he'd stopped taking her to plays where directors wrecked simple stories, and he'd be sitting in his home right now if he hadn't worn out his welcome at his parent's investment property. One thing Louis does have is grit; he ain't gonna let no thing or no body bring him down. But sometimes art happens, and when it does... two words... pens and eyes. Pens. Eyes.' (Publication summary)
