EPISODE 254 - Laurence Braun-Woodbury - Author of Glamorous Failures - a funny, tightly plotted page-turner of a novel
Laurence Braun-Woodbury is a writer of fiction. His debut novel Glamorous Failures is available now.
Glamorous Failures is a tapestry of interwoven narratives that build elegantly on one another to create a thrilling, emotionally resonant whole. Its vivid, distinctive characters are brimming with vivacity and deeply felt humanity. This narrative-driven hopepunk dramedy is a remarkable offering from first-time novelist Laurence Braun-Woodbury. Full of heart and humour Glamorous Failures will move you like few books can.
An obscure professor of business ethics nurses a grudge against power. A burned out social worker gives up on her profession, no longer certain her work is making a difference but believing she still can. A strangely charming freelance computer repair tech wraps copper wire around an electrified magnet...
Flowing in and out of eachothers lives, these diverse personalities strive to make a better world by building solidarities and finding pathways towards a low-overhead revolution. Their various projects precipitate a cozy kidnapping on the prairies, a peoples' inflationary crisis, and the distribution of non-lethal DIY weapons for the war against the archons of ecocide. Their stories overlap in unexpected ways, not least of which is their shared refusal to despair. Steeped in labour and love, the misadventures of these recognizable protagonists coalesce into a hopepunk dramedy made for the age of cataclysm.
Glamorous Failures is a tapestry of interwoven narratives that build elegantly on one another to create a gripping, emotionally resonant whole. Its vivid, distinctive characters are brimming with life and deeply felt humanity. Full of heart and humour, this intricately layered story will move you in a way few books can.
