Description for The Book of Faces
Paperback. 96 pages. Cateogry: (G) General (US: Trade). BIC Classification: DCF. Dimension: 228 x 153 x 10. Weight: 216.
An extraordinary debut taking Audrey Hepburn as the Muse for a series of meditations on the seductions of screen and stage. Campana's poems are haunted by Hepburn, her leading men and a fascinating array of literary spectres - Catullus, Petrarch, Chaucer, Spencer, Foucault and Barthes. His writing blurs surfaces of prose and poetry, mingling the two until each wears the other's face. This is startling writing, fine and beautifully complex.
