Atrocity Exhibitions Grieving in the TikTok Underworldis a short sharp literary shock from acclaimed songwriter and musician Owen Williams. With blistering honesty, Williams examines the particular grief he feels in the wake of his mother’s suicide through the prism of a certain social media platform—‘the Atrocity Exhibition’. Through the Exhibition's various galleries and spaces we come into contact with trauma-grift, ‘lolcows’, cruelty, paganism, Joan Didion and illness, de Sade and sexuality, and of course J.G. Ballard——all dissected with the deftest of prose touches and building into a frank accounting of the delusions and deceptions we all build so much of our selves from—both on and off-line.
