Description
Isis Rhinoceros could be the Aphex Twin of letters. 'A fission of a doubly divorced emigre's fantasies and humiliations', The Great Glastonbury, academically entitled Professor Glastonbury's Possibly Amazing Theory Of The Alphabet, is arguably at once the funniest and most brilliant thing ever written in anything resembling English, a sort of epic poem slash novella and/or novel. It comes on like an essay-slave-narrative-hybrid and is, some say, a luminescent fugitive consideration of sex, tennis, life expectancy, also, to some extent, linguistically triggered magic. Revered literary experimentalist Tantra Bensko calls it "an important work of literature" inclusive of the "passionately beautiful". The spot-lit covers of two basically textually identical 2013 releases are perhaps implied to involve obscenely versatile hero/anti-hero Peter Glastonbury's painting and/or sculpture. Robert Glück, Michelle Foucault's favorite writer some days, places The Great Glastonbury alongside Gertrude Stein's best work, its elusive author's broken keyboard contributions "beyond criticism -- at least by me".
