Hayward McMullen

Enamored with puns and word play, I wrote satire for my high school newspaper. The Journalism teacher took me aside and suggested that I read George Orwell's Politics and the English Language and a passage from Thucydides Peloponnesian War about how "Words change their meanings and take that which is now given to them." I read those, and over time, I explored language meanings and the various grammars of such. While working at a refinery similar to the one portrayed in this novel, I studied linguistics, semiotics, and the thoughts and writings of post-modern and post-colonial thinkers. Such notions have shaped the approach and aesthetic of The Liquid Sunshine Turnaround.
