| Synopsis: |
Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, and Andy Warhol all wrote fiction - but there has never previously been a compllation of the prose of British artists. "The Alpine Fantasy of Victor B and Other Stories" brings together seventeen of Britain's leading contemporary artists in one collection. Moving, humorous and sometimes deeply macabre, these stories deal with dementia, mortality, mass murder and madness. A young woman derails a Virgin train, killing twenty people, as an experiment in conquering death; a boy fakes an accident to get the attention of the girl of his dreams; an alpine hiker advocates murder as an environmental clean-up solution; and time goes backwards as we witness the 'unlynching' of a paedophile by the local neighbourhood watch. Challenging and expanding notions of art and what artists do, "The Alpine Fantasy of Victor B and Other Stories" is a haunting exploration of the impulses that drive today's artists. |
