Tattered Cover Reading - Colfax Store, Denver ()
8/5/2010, 7:30pm. Join Daniel for the release of "The Hermaphrodite: An Hallucinated Memoir," an 'art' novel featuring 40 full-page woodcuts by Argentine Alfredo Benavidez Bedoya, whose work is collected by major museums the world over.
Praise for the book:
Singularly original and captivating… an important work of fiction that should transform what notions of fiction may currently exist. --Luis J. Rodriguez (Carl Sandburg Book Award)
[A] modern space-time set of interconnected myths and stories… startling sets of shape shiftings and melting tableaus…elegantly precise… a work of art. --Ed Sanders (American Book Award)
[A] collage of satire and slapstick, allegory and hallucination… an "art novel" in the fullest sense. --Marguerite Feitlowitz (NY Times Notable Book Finalist)
[A] subatomic bible… a lucid dream snorting hosanna… a post-millennial Memory of Fire… hammered out from the end of a master's tool. --Tim Hernandez (American Book Award)
'Welcome to the destination…' Daniel Grandbois has magicked up for us in this powerfully inventive... gloriously odd and wonderful book. --Laird Hunt (Author of The Exquisite and Ray of the Star)
This book will be read as much for its experimental language as for its 'content,'… what's admirable is its quality of experiment… a collage-form anti-organization [that] achieves coherence much the same way a cubist painting does. --Douglas Unger (Pulitzer Prize Finalist)
