Edouard Leve: Works

[A] mixture of thoughtfulness and self-regard, honest interrogation and mere posing... the kind of writing that got us reading in the first place. -- Zadie Smith This is fiction, but it is fiction of a sort that raises some very serious questions about the possibility of cordoning off actual realities from imagined ones... Dizzying and disturbing in a way that is quite unlike anything else I have ever read..." The Millions A slim volume of big ideas... A book charged with wit and wonder, seeded with the prospect of future masterpieces. -- Jim Ruland Los Angeles Times Works is a spectacle of pure form, a playful pageant of invention in service of nothing much more than itself. It's art made out of nonexistent art for art's sake. -- Mark O'Connell Slate A thought-provoking book of ideas for artworks that is full of unexpected moments of laughter, reveries and delight. -- Nicholas Lezard The Guardian [Works] offers insight into creativity by exploring the interaction between verbal description and visual interpretation. This novelty object will find a comfortable spot on coffee tables. Publishers Weekly An original and surprisingly funny book. -- Kevin Gildea The Irish Times
