Book Synopsis
Like nothing you’ve read before, this exhilarating narrative follows the storyline of Alban Berg’s famously unfinished opera Lulu and explores the history of the commedia, particularly the Pierrot figure from its first inception through its final manifestation as the English clown. Famous historical figures (like Jack the Ripper!) and artists from the late 19th and early 20th centuries also make appearances. Presented in a beautiful, yet affordable 1,500 copy limited edition featuring cover art by Gustav Klimt, original and treated film stills from award-winning filmmaker Bill Morrison, and illustrations from artist Abbot Stranahan, this book should reach beyond fans of avant-garde fiction and find an audience among film, opera, and theater buffs as well as book and art collectors.
