$a `In this unique fiction word and image meet with a richness scarcely seen since Blake. Already with a cult following via literarily and art magazines it is now available for the first time in book form produced under the direction of its author. He writes `I took a forgotten Victorian novel found by chance. I plundered, mined, and undermined its text to make it yield the ghosts of other possible stories, scenes, poems, erotic incidents and surrealist catastrophies which seemed to lurk within its wall of words. As I worked on it, I replaced the text I’d stripped away with visual images of all kinds. It began to tell and depict, amongst other memories, dreams and reflections, the sad story of Bill Toge, one of love’s casualties.’ Within this small format Tom Phillips has made the arts connect, bringing Wagner’s idea of `a comprehensive work of art’ to pocket-book proportions.’ [Dust jacket]. |
