A5, 32 pages, black and white printing, saddle stitched, 2022 Ian Macartney has mashed together a vibrant portrait of the way we live now, a living mausoleum disguised in a forest of words.

Did I say ‘! / Object’ was a hoot too? It’s that, and so much more. — Rishi Dastidar Dripping in frantic lexical lushness, occult robotic desiredome, and dutifully desperate hotness... as rousing, raunchy and roistering as any word circus right(eous)ly should be. — Michael Pedersen Published by Show more
