Ep 81 Emergency Meeting of the Council on Narrative Morality (Fiction Accused of Interfering with Real World Productivity) - Mono Mutante Excerpt CH 11

What happens when your novel gets dragged before the Council on Narrative Morality for “uplifting satire in zones of regulated despair”? In this launch-week special for Mono Mutante—a dirt-splattered eco-satire through the monoculture Midwest—we interrupt our regularly scheduled program for a War of the Worlds–style bulletin on the dangers of “dangerous inspiration.” First up: a breaking news alert about fiction accused of reducing productivity by making people… hopeful. Then, an excerpt from Mono Mutante’s Chapter 11, where Camas and Tilly return to Camas’s childhood home—and discover the pink envelope containing a letter from her mom, later included in the book as a short story. From satirical headlines to intimate moments of grief and memory, this episode mixes comedy with conscience—and maybe inspires a little “dangerous” hope of your own. 📚 Get Mono Mutante: aviskalfsbeek.com/mono-mutante 💛 Follow my Kickstarter: aviskalfsbeek.com/kickstarter 🎵 Music: Dalai Lama Rides a Bike by Javier “Peke” Rodriguez 🎧 Bandcamp: javierpekerodriguez.bandcamp.com 🎧 Spotify: Listen here Kitty O’Compost Music: Thanks to Nicholas Panek on Pixaby
