A new facebook group has been launched to celebrate the author Quentin S Crisp. As far as I am concerned, one of the greatest ‘outsider writers’ we have and a wonderful example of slipstream and strange literature. His collection Defeated Dogs still remains one of my favourite Eibonvale books, not to mention the stunts that we got up to while designing it. Let’s just say that there’s a reason why the two author photos on the cover have such drastically different hair and I still have a piece of it hanging on my bookcase! Those were the days of wild Eibonvale projects and no mistake.
But yes – if you are interested in Quentin’s writing, in his spectacularly unique and hauntingly thoughtful style, then pop on over and join in the appreciation.
