A writer circles an airport. His mind circles everything else.
An Embraer E-190 drops to 10,000 feet and enters a holding pattern. Inside, Writer turns over a restless inventory of writers and painters, composers and plagiarists, plane crashes and vanished books, borrowed lines and private memories.
Built from brief, accumulating fragments, Markson's Pier is a darkly comic meditation on influence, mortality, and the afterlife of art. In sly conversation with the work of David Markson, David Ewald and Stuart Ross ask what writers take from the dead, what the living leave behind, and whether any work can ever be entirely its own.
A novel about circling, stealing, remembering, and the stubborn hope of arrival.
