My new ebook, "Feels Like Failure, Every Time: Thoughts on Writing, Pop Culture, Politics and Violence, 2004-2018," is available now!!!! The book features a gorgeous cover and interior layout by Lea C. Deschenes, and a beautiful introduction by Mindy Nettifee!

Writes Mindy, in her introduction: "In the essays you’re about to read, Victor covers vast personal and cultural terrain. He is asking questions at the edges of what we can know about ourselves while we are still 'in it,' within the experience we will eventually call history. He is posting from where the waveforms of his private fears and longings meet the waveforms of the collective psyche. You’ll get to relive this sort of psychic map of the last decade and half, a period that spans the presidencies of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. And you’ll get to hear some confession – always delivered in the measured tones that a professional journalist cannot abandon in prose – about how the writer experiences himself being changed by events. He struggles and sometimes fails to make meaning, and then succeeds at making some meaning out of failure itself."

This book covers things I've written for GotPoetry, The November 3rd Club, Radius and my personal blog between 2004 and now. It starts off as a book about writing, and ends as something else entirely. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.

And to everyone who's been so supportive both of this project and my other crazy pursuits, THANK YOU. You make this insane writing game worthwhile.

The book can be ordered from my brand-new online store:
