Confusion: The Kitchen Tapes

By: Playfair, Lt

Confusion: The Kitchen Tapes is a dialogue-driven experimental narrative set in a Canadian border town in the 1990s, written in the spirit of Waiting for Godot and Naked Lunch.

A "toxic white male" (Playfair) and his manic Indigenous friend (Troy) spend a long night confronting grief, friendship, and loss-before deciding whether to head to the strip club.

The conversation unfolds as a raw exchange between two men trying to make sense of life, anger, loyalty, and the strange language of a manic episode.

Interwoven throughout the book are original drawings by LT Playfair, created in the same instinct-first spirit that defines his Brutalist Figuration art practice.

Confusion: The Kitchen Tapes functions as both narrative and artifact: a fragment of a night, a conversation captured on tape, and a glimpse into the early experiences that helped shape the voice and artistic philosophy of LT Playfair.

LT Playfair is a Vancouver-based Canadian artist.
