Some Things Wrong

"Presence on the road. Call it a road. Somewhere with the expectations of a road. The expectation to go on. For example. The expectation to overcome the impediments to going on. The expectation that going on is possible. The expectation that going on is even to be considered. Too late. Something near necessity bound to something near impossibility. Near enough in either case. Resembling both. But contending in their imperfections. Imperfect necessity. Imperfect impossibility. No more likely candidates for hope." Composed entirely of details that would have been better left out, 'Some Things Wrong' is an unsparing yet strangely cheerful exploration of failure, error and incapacity. Our memories, identities, concepts and intentions are entirely dependent on the errors on which they are founded. By exhausting these errors and by calling its own content constantly into question, this book asks what it is, at base, that enables or causes us to continue.
