In his essay in FIVE DIALS Summer 22, Kevin Brazil travels to Dungeness to visit Derek Jarman’s garden and reflect on his legacy. Jarman, writes Brazil, ‘was a film-maker, a poet, a painter and, for many, a saint. That was the myth others imposed upon him by virtue of a life of activism that often simply took the form of being himself in public without shame.’

The first thing you’ll need to know about Missouri Williams’ THE DOLORIAD is that an environmental disaster has destroyed the earth and most of humanity, leaving behind a family led by a figure known only as the Matriarch. As her many descendants struggle to survive outside an unnamed city, they’re forced to scavenge and sift through the ruins of the old world.

THE DOLORIAD is strange, dark and unapologetic — a dispatch from a ruined future in which the trials of one extraordinary legless child named Dolores threaten to bring about the destruction of the Matriarch’s order.

It’s a formally daring novel. The sentences stretch on and on, and then on and on again.

FIVE DIALS spoke to Missouri Williams at her home in Prague.
