The Red Album by Stephen Collis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In the tradition of Borges, Nabakov, and Bolano, The Red Album is a work of fiction that turns itself inside out. Divided into two parts, the book begins with an edited and footnoted narrative of dubious origins. In the second part, a section of "documents" (including essays, memoires, a short play and a filmography) shed light on the first narrative. Familiar characters are revealed to be writers, and the writer and editors of the initial narrative are revealed to be characters. As the ghosts of revolutions past are lifted from the soil in Catalonia, and a new revolution unfolds in South America, the number of mysteriously missing author/characters appears to grow almost as fast as new author/characters appear to complicate and scatter the threads of the story. | The Red Album by Stephen Collis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
