Produktbeschreibung
Archaic Torso of Gumby is a series of interlinked stories and essays by Geoffrey Morrison and Matthew Tomkinson that explore the gooey, prickly, sticky materials of late-capitalist pop culture, from video games to claymation to children's picture books commissioned by oil and gas companies. Here lyric essay, personal memoir, fable, pseudohistory and science fiction all coexist alongside more conventional short story forms. Each part reveals unlikely connections between subjects as different as a sentient wallet, a gathering of headless saints, abject descriptions of 3D-printed food, a sixteenth-century courtier who thinks he's a horse, a virtual reality religious experience and a couple with a fetish involving crustaceans. By turns cerebral, goofy and heartfelt, Archaic Torso of Gumby is a delirious rabbit hole for the adventurous reader.
