TWO VAPOURWAVE CLASSICS (paperback)

Nicks Walker is a queer bigender Scot. His allies include yellow, and his enemies include the sun. You can find his objects in Unreal Sex (Cipher Press), SPAM, Rejection Letters, Warning Lines, and elsewhere. He has four rats and autism and tweets @nickserobus.

"Concept meets ekphrasis meets vapourwave in Nicks Walker’s 'TWO VAPOURWAVE CLASSICS,' where there are only two rules for the writing: don’t stop writing, and only delete words that aren’t words. The result is an oddly stunning ode to the vapourwave universe, be it from the perspective of 'a cloud of eyes with intimate problems' or through the bored gaze of a sexy Malibu Fun narrator. Walker’s stream of consciousness writing constructs a narrative that creates its own context as it winds through the mind of the writer, leaving no sensory stone unturned."

"Reading 'TWO VAPOURWAVE CLASSICS' by Nicks Walker is the same experience as waking up from general anesthesia—the light is fuzzy and pink, and time is bending itself in a circle. The dreamy and hazy quality of this pamphlet is also reminiscent of AI writing; there's something so uncanny, yet entirely too human, here, begging you to look all the way in."
