About Elf’s Writing

Here you’ll find essays and fiction. I write about things that happen and things that I imagine happening based on what’s happened—playing out the problem as solution, as I think Gayatri Spivak says, or imagining potential courses of action, as FM 34-130 teaches. Also I write about magic. Except for one little steampunk bagatelle I’m working on just now, I’m aiming for more true surrealism and less fantasy. I’m not that good at it yet. Surrealism is hard.

I hope you love everything here. Or even better, you hate it so much you throw your computer at the wall. If you think anyone resembles you or someone you know … unless I use a real name … well, you must be drunk. I did tell you to mix yourself an Old Fashioned before you started, right?

Yeah, you’re drunk.

And I spiked your drink.

Enjoy —
