Moral of the Story” is a new interview series in which we talk to contemporary novelists and poets about the ethical content of their work, the role of the imaginative writer in making sense of competing moral discourses, and what, if anything, aesthetics has to do with morality and politics in our moment of full-blown neo-fascism. To kick us off, we sit down with the writer Sebastian Castillo to talk about and around his new novel, Fresh, Green Life. Fresh, Green Life is a deeply comic book about the modern construction of the self, disillusionment with academic life, romantic disappointment, and the unexpected turns of holding to one's New Year's resolutions. Join us for a hearty discussion that touches on midcentury American novel aesthetics, the folly of an overly hermetic philosophy, and social media mediated reactionary fantasies.
