USFS 2019 is a proletarian Sagittarian comedy in three-ish parts. It attempts to narrativize the author’s experiences and family history under the guise of a century-later update of Norman Maclean’s USFS 1919: The Ranger, the Cook, and a Hole in the Sky. The story is also rejection the binaries, consumerism, and anthropocentrism that dominate American culture, and it is neurodivergent and millennial as hell. Besides being more faithful to the author’s personal experiences than traditional narrative conventions, USFS 2019 is a novel-length love letter—in discreet terms to Montana, and in overt terms to pop culture and dad jokes. Its full digital conception is accompanied by an original game. Let’s hear it for the woods.
