Some Theories (2017)
(47-page trade paperback of drawings and short fiction) Kathryn Mockler and David Poolman How do we exist in a world that may have already moved on without us? Some Theories is a collection of drawings, little stories, poems, plays, and one-liners that explore failure, dread, resignation, and the end of the world. Samples: THEORIES People with children do not want to listen to your theories about the end of the world. Ghosts do not want to hear from the living. People without swimming pools do not want to know that people with swimming pools had a good swim. IN SUCH A WORLD THERE IS MUCH SADNESS Said the woman to her to the doctor before he attempted to cut out her cyst. In the nursing home, there is much sadness, which is where I go on Tuesdays and Thursdays to visit my patients, said the doctor. Doesn’t working in a nursing home make you afraid for when it’s your turn to live in one? No, said the doctor. I kind of always imagined myself stepping into a boat and drifting away. Like Spalding Gray? No, like me. Spalding Gray killed himself. I’m going to drift away in a boat on the sea until I no longer exist. -Kathryn Mockler |
