What is it that draws us to failing?
In partnership with Ashoka University and the India International Centre, the 5th UEA symposium in the Literary Activism series invited participants to account for the attractions specific to failing; why, and how, it awakens our desire; and why it is taboo in a way quite different from its resonances in the era before the free market.
In the first in the series, poet and UEA Professor of Creative Writing, Tiffany Atkinson, presents her paper ‘“One door closes, another door shuts”: some reflections on failure’.
