A Set of Lines: a novel by S. D. Stewart
Last night I drew all night. I copied the images from the textbook and then I drew them again freehand—I made them move on the page, lengthened the lines and darkened the centers.
The tree, the river, the old textbook—a triptych with shifting borders hangs in a place where dreams and memories intersect. Omission and loss haunt those who live here, suspended as they are in an endless struggle to connect. Contracting and expanding as it progresses, the narrative of their existence ever-circles around a shrouded core.
With cover design and interior illustrations by Nate Dorr, who since 2017 has been quietly depicting the beauty of decaying, mutated biospheres in his Disaster Landforms series.
Interior design and layout wizardry by Nathan Grover.

/ May 17, 2020Likewise, I can’t complain. That novel of mine needs a rewrite, or scrapping, I can’t decide which. But an earlier one is finally going to see the light of day before too long, so there’s that. More anon!
