Absolutely incredible. The back cover is compelling but the actual experience is singular. You find yourself twisting and turning the book around, looking at these fictional found objects that don’t feel fictional one bit. What a way to experience a story!

Within world war memorabilia and postage and photographs is the story of woman that begins as troubles and becomes only more so. In the telling the story becomes about war, and loss and grief; the patriarchy and privilege, and a whole lot more.

Will have to do a medium article with some pictures. I find it hard to relate because I’ve had no experience like it. The previous book, Bough Down, comes close, but this has much more of a narrative and that featured art, rather than the found objects + art piece + typography + prose combo here.
