Item description from seller

Small quarto. (59)ff. Vibrantly colored illustrations printed from linoleum blocks under heavy pressure. These follow a recapitulation of the Stations of the Cross, now rendered in a powerful montage of image and text narrated in a visceral present tense. It it only at the colophon that Morin reveals the twist: "This is a story about a contemporary soldier of Hispanic origin; hence the name pronunciation is HEY ZEUS, and not the name that you were probably using with your internal voice." Immediately the book becomes a meditation on the treatment of soldiers, and offers itself as especially relevant to the current crises of border migration. This is made all the more plain and perilous by cover stock emulating thorns, and an actual crown of thorns made from barbed wire and a red, white, and blue-beaded rosary. A fine production, with its social critique embedded in its materials.
