UPC: 9780151007097Release Date: 2/25/2002
Inspired by Samuel Foote's poem, ""The Grand Panjandrum,"" The Object-Lesson presents a stunning series of seemingly random and unrelated events. A missing artificial limb, ghostly spectres, and the statue of Corrupted Endeavour all have a place in this enigmatic tale, which combines elements of French surrealism, Japanese haiku, and lots of good fun. With its humorous obscurity and puzzling intrigues, The Object-Lesson delights and provokes. PRAISE FOR EDWARD GOREY
