A story about transhistory, erasure, and J.K. Rowling.
Jess/ has been a fan of Harry Potter their whole life. So when J.K. Rowling starts speaking out against the trans rights movement, they are devastated. Not only do they feel betrayed, their copies of the Harry Potter books have all been erased.
Following the advice of their friend Roland Barthes, Jess/ decides to find J.K. Rowling and seek out some kind of justice. Their journey takes them through a transhistorical South London, where multiple timelines coexist and trans opera singers clash with 19th Century French authors.
An insurgent experiment, an attempt at reclamation, The Undying Author explores first-hand what marginalised readers can do in the face of oppressive authors.
