Expect Major Delays

This book will attempt to examine "Midwestern Hyperrealism" as a genre. By looking at topics ranging from the apocalypse to the designing of simple promotional brochures my goal is to find the details that we use to make meaning in our lives and to reconfigure those details in way that will demonstrate it is not the essence of those details, but how we approach them that truly makes any meaning. It is particularly Midwestern, because it deals with some of the simple details, often politeness codes or nostalgic objects. In some ways, this is an examination of how TS Eliot's "objective correlative" functions in prose, but more interestingly in our day-to-day lives. This book finds the metaphors we create for our own lives, and it unpacks those metaphors to reveal the instability of human life in general.
