Puneh Ansari is the writer of civilization fatigue. In her poetic short essays, which first appeared as posts on Facebook, she performs apocalyptic pirouettes. Everyday observations tip into the existential, melancholy meets playful language games. There is anger about consumer capitalism, there is depression over the not-so-improved, unfinished self, disappointment over the barren job market with "professions," and the computer has overheated. Ansari writes with a youthful anti-attitude and a lingering yearning for a repaired, intact world. Or is nature just an absurd counterpart now?.
