The God of Small Things
question
Can a book review be pure image? Five Artists, Five Book Reviews Must a book review take the form of prose — or can it be pure image? http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/06/25/books/review/five-artists-five-book-reviews.html
Jan, this is incredibly moving. Imagine having a vocabulary that expresses itself in visual arts to respond to a written work of art. Especially Wangechi Mutu. I also found some books here to add. (Someone is going to have to be hired to go out in the woods to read to my scattered ashes long after I've gone if I'm ever to finish them all.) Her "Eleven Secrets" spoke to me immediately of The God of Small Things, which I wasn't able to finish because I couldn't renew it at the library.
Isn't this a sort of reversal of ekphrasic poetry? But somehow it feels so much powerful flowing from word to art than most of the poetry I've seen that took art as its inspiration.
Thank you, thank you.
