FWIW – a literary site

The literary site of Jason Bentsman & Co. Entertainment, illumination, edification

 

The author’s most recent book is The Orgastic Future, a profound work of poetic nonfiction about the interconnectedness and depths of consumerism, plastic pollution, climate change, plague, runaway ego, and other threats facing the planet.

It has been described as “A 21st century HOWL” (A. Shoumatoff, New Yorker & Vanity Fair), “Visionary, must read” (Mercurius Magazine), “Something out of its own time,” “An urgent read for every person living on the planet,” and “A poetic companion piece to Elizabeth Kolbert’s The Sixth Extinction.”

A unique balance of the literary and informative essay, it appeals to anyone who loves classic and 20th century literature or philosophy, or is concerned about the environment and state of the world.

An audio recording, with ambient musical accompaniment, of the poetic fragment
And Every Bondperson, which imagines the relatively near future if plastic pollution
continues untrammeled. 

Excerpted from The Orgastic Future, a poetic nonfiction book I completed recently about
consumerism, plastic pollution, climate change, runaway ego, and other threats
facing the planet—in a sense the literary equivalent of a Brueghel or Bosch painting.


The Book Is Available Now! . . . 



The recording works equally well if you listen along as you read, or on its own.
Probably need to turn up the volume fairly loud.

Show your support by liking FWIW on FB and/or G+, where I post something worthwhile (illuminating, informative, poetic, comic, tragic, usefully irreverent, captivatingly absurd) sporadically, whenever the mood strikes. . . You never know what you're going to get, but if I'm doing things right, whatever it is should ultimately enrich rather than detract from your life.
