The Spud. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.The Spud

After murdering 12 people at a bakery in Driggs, Idaho, Anthony Paxton turns the gun on himself and shoots. In the aftermath, his brother works as a deliveryman, haunted by Anthony’s journey from founding the antisocial group Damning the Damned to killing all those people. The constant replaying of those memories is only interrupted once a girl from the local high school jumps into his delivery truck with a gun of her own and no clear agenda.
Brielle Brilliant’s debut is a flash-fiction novel for fans of Natural Born Killers and Badlands, thrusting them into a world of violence, guns, sex, and existentialism. With a form inspired by great indie cinema, the story unfolds in scenes associatively, delivering an emotionally wrenching ride alongside lusty teen rebellion.

Brielle Brilliant (aka Pavli) is a filmmaker, writer, and environmental educator. Much of their work centers land and queer, alienated youth—inspired by their own (and now reformed) teenage nihilism. Their film, Firstness, received the Grand Jury Prize for U.S. Narrative Features (Outfest 2021) and exhibited at MoMA. They're the author of the books The Spud (Featherproof Books) and The Curtsy Family (Thoughtcrime Press), which received the Lorien Book Prize in 2018. They are also the co-founder of the mutual-aid-focused collective Purpose Repair Shop and help facilitate various Locatings. They spend most of their time with trees, mbps, and 16mm film.
