Synopsis

Lorem Ipsum<\/i>, the debut novel from poet Oli Hazzard, consists of a single, 50,000\-word sentence. An epistolary fiction addressed to an unidentified email recipient, the novel is modelled after the Japanese prose genre of the zuihitsu, which means following the brush. This playful, disruptive and digressive novel is written out of and towards a moment of crisis in the ordinary, in which the experience of attention has changed entirely. Lorem Ipsum<\/i> is also an intimate, singular exploration of being a parent and a child, of dreams, work, fantasies, reading, happiness, secrets, memory, protest, repetition, intergenerational conflict, and the forms of community which appear or disappear based on how we conceive of \x27shared time\x27. It is a book about the foundations upon which we build our lives, and what happens when they are shaken.
