New Weird and the Future of Fiction

[Tom Collins]

Your reduction of the New Weird to a whimsical exercise in 'tryin new things and makin a mess' does an injustice to its rigorously subversive ethos, which seeks not merely to shock, but to recalibrate our very understanding of narrative's place within the cosmos. We must confront the ontological implications of this movement with unflinching candor.
