Abstract

Once upon a time, failure was believed to be a very bad thing. It is now seen as a means of living happily ever after. For some fail-fans, it is a magic kingdom called Acadreamia, where missteps make marketers stronger. For others, it is a heinous haunted mansion, ReviewView, where recurring nightmares reside. An unembellished autoethnography, this essay tells the blood-curdling tale of the author’s failed attempt to write a bestseller about failure. A marketing monstrosity, it has few redeeming features.
