What is the myth of the Wright brothers? Is it the fairy tale of 1903, when two human beings ignored their differences and created an invention that split human history into two eras: before and after the possibility of flight? Or is it the grim post-1903 reality, when each brother struggled alone, an ocean between them, to promote their new invention in the face of hostility, indifference, ridicule and disbelief? Or - are both harmony and disharmony - chaos and control - the dark and light threads in the fabric of every human dream?
The Wright Brothers: Flight is Possible together with the accompanying journal and notebook represent the twenty-first installment in author John Passfield's project of exploring the concept of form and meaning in the contemporary novel. More information can be found at www.johnpassfield.ca.
