Fever Dreams is a miniseries featuring works of fiction, essays and non-fiction read without embellishment or analysis. Literature was my first great artistic love, and I regard it as possibly the richest art form, with its ability to showcase the dark interior of humanity, and traverse time, place and space unlike any other medium. Fever Dreams features a selection of the macabre and the mundane, the fantastical and the concrete, works that have struck me in a meaningful fashion, and that I feel are worth sharing.
Our fourth dream is A Hunger Artist by Franz Kafka, a short story that was first published in 1928, and details the tragic reflection on life by a hunger artist at the nadir of his career and public popularity. The story presciently illuminates the way our contemporary world views artists, the transience of culture, and modernity's spiritual death.
