Jake Chapman: The Marriage of Reason & Squalor

In his first work of fiction, artist Jake Chapman slashes the romantic novel down to bare bone and constructs his own disfigured version from the slaughtered remains. Chlamydia Love is gifted her very own tropical island by her fianc , where she develops a grudging adoration for its real owner, the enigmatic bestselling author, Helmut Mandragorass. A battle between her fianc and Helmut ensues, for ownership of the island and ultimately for the love of Chlamydia. This mercilessly subversive tale is illustrated by Chlamydia's watercolors, the Visions of Morass, inspired by the island as she struggles with her feelings of agony and ecstasy. Already available as a paperback, this volume can now be had in this signed and numbered slipcased edition of 250.
