Dead Youth, or, The Leaks
from the Open Poetics series published by Litmus Press
Joyelle McSweeneyAuthor
In this farce set on a hijacked containership on its way to Magnetic Island, Julian Assange attempts to “reboot” a troupe of Dead Youth—teenagers from all over the globe who have died in violent circumstances from sweatshop labor to environmental poisoning to war—but must grapple with two other would-be hijackers: a young Somali pirate and a female Antoine de St-Exupéry. Described by its author as a “badly-wired allegory,” Dead Youth, or, the Leaks brings to manic light the veiled violence that makes life in capitalism possible.
