Synopsis
A masterful union of illuminating, riotous fiction, alongside work by some of the best contemporary artists, including Kiki Smith, Jane Dickson, Juan Munoz, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, and Stephen Ellis, among others, this engaging collection of twenty years' worth of Tillman's best fiction will seduce readers with its innovative collaborative format and its elegant, ironic, wit. Taking the reader to new heights of meaning through staccato phrases, grammatical twists and sensuous language, Tillman's believable fictions offer familiar worlds of honesty, deceit, humour, pleasure, pain, confusion, dependence, love and lust. In "Come and Go," three characters and an author collide. In "Pleasure isn't a Pretty Picture," the reader is treated to a he/she meditation on the one-night stand. And "Dead Sleep" is truly an insomniac's worst nightmare. Serving as a parallel universe to the contemporary art world, these unique narratives function as analogues, dialogues, inspirations, reflections and meditations on the pieces that are scattered throughout their pages. But like Borge's fiction, they are their own worlds, too.
Full of life and art, in THIS IS NOT IT, Tillman has clearly marked - in bold but subtle strokes - her own terrain."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
