Shadow Architect

The Sovereign Republic of Beatrice has one citizen too many.Alistair is the "e;Scullery Sage"e;—a man capable of solving differential equations but deemed unqualified to operate a toaster by his own mother. While his brother, Felix, conducts "e;Geopolitical Theatre"e; from Ibiza, Alistair is the unpaid essential worker keeping the family home from sliding into the sea.  In this report on Domestic Human Rights Antagony, the basement becomes a "e;Command Center of the Resistance"e;. Surrounded by "e;worthless books,"e; Alistair isn't just fixing the pipes—he is mapping the structural weaknesses of his own imprisonment.  But the foundation is about to leave.When an independent witness enters the house, the "e;Architecture of Silence"e; begins to crumble. The Shadow Architect is a sharp, satirical journey of self-sustenance, proving that you cannot bury a Sage in a scullery and expect him not to learn how to build a ladder.
