The Editor, photo coming soon.
A .K. Thavaraj is the resident Editor-in-Exile of the Outsider. The story of how Pica, Meursault, and he created the Outsider is told here. If you feel compelled to write to him for any reason, use the form here. Also, editor is a valid inbox, if you know what I mean. 😉 though Smith sometimes redirects incoming traffic to /dev/null.
Bibliography
Blue Pencil Department.
We live an existential satire in which reality and its parody are equally absurd conjoined twins. 2025 gave us absurdities everywhere, from people eating detergent on TikTok to a President warmongering over the Nobel Peace Prize. Three cheers, in advance, for an absurd 2026!
Manufacturing Disconsent Department.
The Editor sums up the past year at the Outsider.
Paradoxical Hound Department.
Calculus Dogbertus, the Honourable Hound of our paradox, passed away in 2019. We miss him--and this is how each of us remembers him. Goodbye, dear friend. See you out there!
Manufacturing Disconsent Department.
A collective noun for Outsiders
We are Outsiders. We prefer solitude and shy away from the company of others. Do we deserve an appropriate collective noun? These are the minutes of meeting on the matter of what we ought to call ourselves, collectively.
