The Marriage of Reason and Squalor
£16.95 Add to basket
Jake Chapman's first work of fiction slashes the romantic novel down to bare bone and constructs its own disfigured version from the slaughtered remains.
Any novel in which the central protagonists are named Chlamydia Love and Helmut Mandragorass gets our vote. The Marriage of Reason & Squalor is a written extension of the work of the Chapman brothers.
Included in the book is a facsimile of Mandragorass magnum opus Come Hell or High Water, a work of heartbreaking romance. This manuscript is reproduced as an insert on coloured paper, along with a number of genuine rejection letters sent to Chapman/Mandragorass from publishers who should have known better
Also featured are twenty exclusive colour prints by Jake Chapman as Chlamydia Love. Entitled Visions of Morass, they are from a collection of images drawn by her on the island of Morass, as she struggled with her feelings of agony and ecstasy.
