Name: Episode 11 - Zone by Matthias Enard by The Empyrean Path
Duration: 15 min 6 s
Description: Udith Dematagoda read's from Matthias Enard's Zone (Fitzcarraldo, 2014). A feverish masterpiece of contemporary modernist fiction on war, violence and the bloodsoaked history of the Mediterranean.

To get us out of the depressing discourse loop of contemporary politics, we brought on the Scottish writer, academic, and editor of the exciting experimental lit publisher Hyperidean Press, Udith Dematagoda. We discuss Udith's recent novel, 'Horizontal Rain,' literary nihilism, and the rich history of reactionary ideology throughout early modernism: Céline, Wyndham Lewis, Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, Mishima, and more. There is also some discussions on painting, surrealism, failure, and pessimism. Udith has just published an excellent piece on Adam's Safety Propaganda project, which is linked below.  Udith is currently finishing a book on the confluence of technology, fascism and masculinity.
