Philosophical. Social. Political. Satirical. Psychological. The After Hours tells the story of a young man who finds fault with the world and living a predictable life. As a means of trying to escape, and push the limits of this world that he deems to be materialistic and immoral, he and his friends turn to acts of violence, trying to change the world and pacify anti-societal rage at the same time. This game of John’s becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy which tests his faith in God and himself. It is through a series of self-revelations, a desire for love, and a longing for a role in the greater scheme of life that shape the character. Reoccurring themes of social relationships, faith, satisfaction with oneself, and opposing society’s ways are but a few of the subjects explored. What makes the protagonist and his peers different is how ordinary they appear until the sentiment festers within each of them to turn against the culture they feel trapped inside of. It is not until John understands his true nature that he tries to change for the better, but by that point it may be too late, as the apocalyptic ending that he has feared has come to life.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
