“Is that a decent reason?
Just ’cause others think you’re true?
You need to have good reason
to believe the things you do.”“Should one take ideas on faith?
Or turn them on their head?
Look at them from all angles?
Think the opposite, instead?”“Our gang has this idea.
Are you with them, or us?
Truth’s contingent on my tribe?
Belong, don’t make a fuss?”
From “XX”, by Rian Hughes.
One of the most beautiful books I’ve ever seen (and held). Look it up. It’s a novel, graphic. To not be confused with a graphic novel.
(the binding could be better, and the paper too, but it’s still a pretty good price for what it offers)
A “first contact” novel as if written by an hybrid of Danielewski and Grant Morrison. And it doesn’t seem to trade words for just artsy white space. It seems to strike a good balance.
