DARK HORSEY SAYS- Each of these seven pieces is radically different. All are terrific. One is a recipe, one a memoire of Perec, one explains the Workshop for Potential Literature (ie., the Ou Li Po), another derives from Trevor Winkfield's mysterious drawings. another is autobiography.The London Times described the book as"an almost pugnacious demonstration of his talents."Harry Mathews is one of the Ou Li Po masters (along with friend Georges Perec, Calvino, Raymond Queneau & others). Fabulously amusing & bizarro novelist, inventive prose stylist & poet. Other books include, memorably, Twenty Lines A Day, The Conversions, Singular Pleasures, & Selected Declarations of Dependence. There are more recent anthologies of Mathews' essays & 'stories'. |
