Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico: I’m impressed at how much well-observed detail the author packed into this short study of a modern cosmopolitan couple who discover that, yes, life isn’t what they hoped for.
The couple here is the character. I don’t think we ever learn their names and they’re described as if they’re a unit with mostly shared thought processes. With no dialogue and hardly any events, this book is quite the formal achievement.
After a break of 30 years, the House of Harley resumes its publishing activities with the first in a series of art books. Corrugated Catwalk features excerpts from my sketchbooks, exploring the weird and wonderful world of fashion, and is packed with odd and imaginative extrapolations on the contents of Sunday fashion supplements, clothing catalogues and shoe stores.
Published November 2020. 52 pages, full colour, A5 paperback.
£7.50 + postage. Available from our Etsy shop or (better for international shoppers) Lulu.
