Ship of State

Ship of State cover

A chapbook by John Lazarus

An experimental chapbook told through memos, transcripts, and media fragments that piece together life inside an authoritarian state shaped by rigid bureaucracy and careful control of information. As doubts begin to circulate about the country’s leadership, officials struggle to navigate and manage rumors and public perception in a system where saying the wrong thing could easily end their political careers… and possibly lives.

For the best reading experience, we recommend purchasing the paperback edition of this chapbook.
