A Cloud of Ink in the Shape of Yourself

By Nathaniel Hanula-James

In A Cloud of Ink in the Shape of Yourself, a would-be prophet initiates their audience into the secrets of the afterlife. They involve cuttlefish — and Mariah Carey. As this unhinged sermon unspools, the prophet summons the god of the afterlife, a being named IDONTKNOWHER, in the hopes of an early departure from the land of the living. A Cloud of Ink is a grimly comic meditation on regret, identity, and what it means to be known.
