Amor Cringe

Amor Cringe explores the dually base and beautiful aspects of self-obsessed media culture. In a perennial bohemian style, an unnamed, ungendered protagonist travels from coast to coast and affair to affair, stumbling upon various moments of failure, absurd insight, and flashes of transcendence.Half traditionally-written and half AI-generated, Amor Cringe is a 'deepfake autofiction' novelette about a TikTok influencer that seeks God, created with the intention to be 'as cringe as possible.' The result is a painfully self-aware series of encounters that exfoliate the repulsive and fascinating aesthetics of romantic life under social media.
