Abstract

Fragments of a Soul is a fragmentary, epistolary creative writing project consisting of pieces from a fictional, now deceased writer that include polished short stories, stream-of-consciousness writings, and lists. The pieces from 'the Writer' are narratively strung together by notes from 'the Editor,' a mysterious individual who knew the Writer when he was still alive. Fragments is set within a vague fantasy world in which reincarnation is apparently known but not understood, and the Writer appears to be haunted by something he can't quite define and can only write around. This project was an experiment in experiments, trying out different smaller concepts and then trying to fit them all together.
