- More about Decadence
<p><b>A collection of essays, ranging from the personal to the humorously mundane, <i>Decadence </i>spans a decade in the life of writer Richard Kelly Kemick.</b></p> <p>The subjects of these essays are far-ranging, including Christmas villages, volleyball, municipal landfills, high-school plays, and dog fur. They feature the same rotating cast of characters: friends, family, Litia—Kemick’s partner of ten years—and their newborn son.</p> <p>Throughout the course of <i>Decadence</i>, a narrative is gradually revealed. The collection begins with the early days of Kemick’s relationship with his long-time partner; the collection closes with the surprising, unconventional end to their romance. In the pages between, Kemick creates a repository of humour and epiphany that make up the odds and ends of living.</p> <p>These essays are for fans of David Sedaris and David Rakoff. However, unlike the books published by these authors, <i>Decadence </i>puts on display the writer’s evolution. The contents, in chronological order, span the ten years it took Kemick to write this collection, revealing a gradual shift in his voice and priorities.</p>
