In Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, the narrator offers a memorably brief account of his mother’s death: 'picnic, lightning'.
Picnic Comma Lightning similarly opens with the death of Laurence Scott's parents, and the definitive ending of their deaths raises for him one fundamental question: how much of what we live through is truly real?With humour and insight, Scott transforms this personal meditation on loss into an exploration of what it means to exist in the world now.
It used to be that our vision of the world was rooted to reasonably solid things: to people, places and memories.
But today, in an age of constant internet debates, online personas and alternative truths, reality feels more vulnerable than ever before.
Picnic Comma Lightning looks at how digital life is distorting, echoing and magnifying our age-old preoccupation with what is real and what isn't.
Where do we draw the line? How is technology shifting these boundaries? And how do we maintain a sense of reality in an increasingly unreal world?.
