About this ebook
Across a decade that measures a reign, a ritual, and a ruin, we follow characters navigating a labyrinth of silent choices. Their fates are decided by the color of a uniform—blue, green, pale yellow—and the invisible scripts of power they represent. It is a tale of memory that clings like a ghost, and the terrifying courage required to forget in order to live another hour, another day.
Moving restlessly between languages and states of being—from the stark clarity of instruction to the chaotic nightmare of its execution—Fluent constructs a mirrored labyrinth for the reader. Within its ornate cages and silent selections, you will encounter not the monsters you were taught to fear, but the chilling reflection of systems that shape us all.
Step into this unsettling, brilliant arena. Find your way back out.

About the author
Jandy Grzegorz Adam is a writer and visual artist for whom narrative is an architectural act, building worlds to explore the fractures within our own. Their work is deeply engaged with the politics of language, memory, and identity under oppressive systems, often employing duality and fragmentation as core structural principles.
In Fluent, Adam draws on the stark traditions of folktale and gothic bureaucracy to construct a haunting, linguistically daring novel that is as much an experience as it is a story. They are responsible for the book's full conceptual vision, including its text, design, and art.
Adam lives and works in the spaces between languages, cultures, and artistic forms.
