Our Splendid Failure to Do the Impossible

Living in landscapes of ruin and ruination, memory and problematic nostalgia, Rebecca Lindenbergs Our Splendid Failure to Do the Impossible plumbs the depths of disruption, decay, and how we go on when the world stops cold. Inspired by the speakers experiences of living with type 1 diabetes, the collection chronicles humanitys daily fight for survival in a world thats bent on destroying itself. Lindenberg centers love, self-acceptance, and intimacy as incomparable balms across great geographical and psychological distances, and asks the reader to do the impossible: hope.
