Modernity has reached its conclusion- the end of history in a post-American world. Civilization in the consumer market has reached its inevitable self-devouring. The nameless walk the earth- degeneracy is rampant and identity is an unknown concept. The people and entities in END OF A NATION: LESSER INFINITES are engaged in the mundane, sifting the alleys, the gutters, the perpetual war of boredom and suicide, not so much invigorated by the search for meaning, but in the understanding that evil exists in degrees, and the good nature of man has been abolished. The America that exists after the collapse is not purely chaos- it is one of order, of commerce, of alcohol, fentanyl, and transients; of sex and boarded up churches and businesses- not unlike the America that crosses our collective minds. As we navigate the new wars of an America adrift, our protagonist begins the search for a romanticism he is unaware exists in the world, but one that is tied to a familial and spiritual fate in a hopeless reckoning of the will. This isn't the process of decline. It is the inevitable end game. This is literature that gnashes its teeth and breathes with jagged ragged heaves; literature that roars with life like an infant pulled from the womb. This is the literature that allows us to glimpse a shred of humanity in a world of profane commerce and grey. This is a novel that offers a steadfast 'fuck you' to the idea that literature must be comfortable, passively enjoyable, and pleasant; it reminds us that the highest form of creation is one in which we are unsettled and perhaps even left in terrified awe at the sublimity of the ineffable, like Peter finding the tomb empty and the corpse removed. This is beautiful. This is art. - Kai Warmoth, author of Visionary Forms Dramatic
