AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Luke Horton's debut novel The Fogging deconstructs the ways in which mental illness can impact a relationship, while shedding light on how a lack of clear financial prospects can slowly consume a couple. The inability to look at a potentially shared future with hope is a key element in the novel, which highlights how a growing number of academics struggle to maintain their sanity and make ends meet. Through the character of Tom, Luke Horton draws the reader's attention to issues that have long affected academics and that are becoming a major concern for early career researchers. In particular, The Fogging focuses on the almost inevitable childlessness that academics are forced to accept due to a lack of job security and appropriate financial remuneration.' (Introduction)
