| Description: |
Rain Rider is a book of echoes and reflections: words are signs that keep changing their positions, suggesting new ideas. Briggs's vision is essentially irreverent, whether he's evoking the nostalgia of the Test Card, conjuring the Devil, or riffing on an artisan perfume. Sometimes, he writes about love. |
| Synopsis: |
Rain Rider is a book of echoes and allusions, mirrors and reflections: words are signs that keep changing their position, taking new forms, suggesting new ideas, as they recur, recto/verso. Briggs's vision is essentially ludic and irreverent, whether he's evoking the plangent nostalgia of the Test Card, conjuring the Devil, or riffing on an artisan perfume. Rain Rider is a book of forms, of thought poured into vessels: it begins with a rain-filled chalice and closes with an upended urn of ashes. Through it all, in a returning sequence, we find archetypal figures - the Fool, the Hermit, the Mariner and Thief - as though running amok in the serifed leading of the typeface. |
