Mark Leach documents the psychic afterlife of American systems—corporate, masculine and media— treating language as infrastructure rather than story. His projects administer narrative as a broadcast system: interrupted, recursive and unstable by design. His work ranges from the maximal megatext Marienbad My Love to transmission-style books and satire-myths rooted in Texas landscapes, bureaucracy and media drift. He also develops public-facing essay projects that explore creative delegation to machines while insisting that the work itself remains the argument.

A megatext project: maximal, recursive, appropriative, and machine-adjacent—built from repetition, drift, and structural redundancy. The book treats language as material and the page as a transmission surface.

Early Systems
Early Systems
A collection of early works that externalize a way of thinking about writing that treats authorship as procedural, narrative as optional, and scale as an aesthetic force in its own right.

Space Writing
Space Writing
Written after a period of strict conceptual systems and before the emergence of a fully realized media universe, the book documents the moment when writing ceased to function as a linear act and began to behave as an environment.

Everything Is Television
Everything Is Television
A broadcast artifact masquerading as a book: interruptions, protocols, failed narration, and contaminated archive logic. Meaning arrives through exposure, not explanation.

Wounded Taco
Wounded Taco
A fractured myth of Texas and late-stage American comfort: confession, bureaucracy, intrusioN and collapse. The comedy isn’t decoration—it’s pressure. // EXCERPT: This is all true. The space alien parts are reasonably accurate. The Kraken really do look like octopus or squid, flailing arms and quivering cosmic jelly. These squid—my parents, actually—come from a planet of boiling oceans and searing sandstorms. They like it hot. Here in summertime Texas, mom and dad are feeling just fine. No need for AC. Just open the window and enjoy a bed sheet of unbreathable polyester. Not third-grade me. Soon I am covered in sweat. TV Dracula scratches at the window screen. “Not tonight, Count," I say, pulling the sheet over my head. “I’m already busy dying.”

Literary Singularity
Literary Singularity
A public essay/project that asks what happens when a writer yields parts of creative output to machine processes—without turning the result into a tech demo or an apology. Built as an argument through example: the work itself is the evidence.

Corporate language as literature
Texas masculinity and myth
Media saturation and broadcast culture
Retirement as post-narrative state
AI-era authorship
WORKING PRINCIPLES
Narrative is optional. Systems are not.
Language is infrastructure, not expression.
Corporate speech is the great American prose poem.
Masculinity is a legacy technology in visible decline.
Texas is not a place—it is a myth engine.
Authorship is endurance under repetition.
AI is not a theme; it is a condition of writing.
Retirement is a post-narrative state.
Books may exceed readability; they must not exceed necessity.
The work continues until the system stops responding.

“Pagination is non-sequential. Redundancy is structural. Apparent duplication reflects drift.”
