Tiffany LiI don’t know how to explain it, but time works differently in airports. 5 minutes and 5 hours are somehow the same. Your flight is delayed but arrives early. The carpets are from 1980. The water machines are from 2045. It is always happy hour. You have always been in the airport.
Amanda "Li" Griffiths 🎨@tiffanycli Petition to make "Airport Gothic" the next big writing genre craze please?
malena@darjeeliarts @tiffanycli Emily St. John Mandel wrote a solid entry with station 11, with her artoptian future flourishing in the traverse city airport
@seachanger @tiffanycli Oh awesome, thank you for the rec! I'll have to check that out.
@darjeeliarts @tiffanycli it’s a fun novel in that the author dares to write speculative fiction that isn’t just doom porn, it’s bright and creative and intriguing. it’s also a tv series now and the show takes the premise of the book in different but also pretty cool directions (and also makes use of an airport that remains a hub of art and civilization through the end of a deadly pandemic and into a new future…)
