Part one of my series on science fiction and left melancholy is up at the Ancillary Review of Books.
Then there is the more playful, fetish version of horny left melancholy: it is humiliating to always lose, to be a squirming little worm, with no general strikes and no governments.
It asks: could speculative fiction be considered left joy, and a kind of antidote to left melancholy? It talks about Walter Benjamin, Wendy Brown, Octavia Butler, adrienne maree brown, Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams, Seo-Young Chu, Darko Suvin and a few others.
