A Foul Wind is a nautical term. It’s a wind that blows you off-course and into misadventure. In this new collection, Justin Clemens finds himself lost, wrecked, and washed up on the isle of the damned.

He discovers a world of undrinkable Dummheit, stuffed to the gills with cyberpreneurs and pseudonatural secretaries,downsizing corporations and corruption taskforces, '80s rappers and ‘90s drugs, planetary plague and terra nullius.

With a nod to Restoration drama and contemporary philosophy, A Foul Wind is a tour-de-force of morality, politics, and love.
