Edwardian, c.1905 · The Reversal
Mr Fickle
Total conviction, no consistency. He states a belief with force, then reverses without admitting it.
Mr Fickle is the founding editor of The Reversalist, a role for which he is spectacularly unsuited, being a gentleman of total conviction and no consistency. He holds a belief with his whole chest, then reverses it before the paragraph is over, and regards this not as a flaw but as a rich and varied inner life.
In The Reversal he takes a firm position each week and retracts it the next, so that a patient reader watches him argue the entire compass and arrive, refreshed, exactly where he started.
“I will not stand for it. I have never stood for anything so firmly. I am now sitting.”
“I would die on this hill. I have located a better hill.”
Mr Fickle is in preparation for The Reversalist. Subscribe to be there when the first one lands.
