The Main Character (Welsh, Virgo, ENTP, emo, 32, M) abandons the decadent neo-colonialist lifestyle of an English-as-a-Foreign-Language Teacher to pursue the workshy millennial ideal of life as a digital nomad.
A quick visit to Wales becomes months and months and etc. of escalating and easing lockdowns, marathon video chats, Valleys bike rides & ticket-free train travel, socially-distanced booze & weed sessions, and legally-questionable house and shed visits with his Dad & the Boys, mental disequilibrium fuelling an obsession with becoming a generation-defining best-selling author:
the Welsh Irvine Welsh, the ginger Jack Kerouac, the broke Bret Easton Ellis, the homebound Hunter S Thompson, penning Fear & Loathing in the Living Room:
a Tao Lin-eclipsing autofictional Voice of His Generation.
hiraeth [n.] [Welsh] an intense sense of longing for your homeland.
HIRAETH. [alt] [ALL CAPS.] an existential moron's lockdown novel; Proust-like chronicling of life during a once-in-a-century viral outbreak - novel autofiction exploiting the millions dead from a novel virus to bring its author closer to enablement of his delusions than ever before.
