描述
From Book Works new Semina series, dedicated to publishing
contemporary artists and writers willing to take risks with their prose,
comes British author Bridget Penney's spellbinding novella. Index
spins a web of far-flung places and people in order to explore the
themes of revolution, repression, seduction and death. Using
uncredited -found- texts and deliberate forgeries to blur the line
between what might have happened and what is merely imagined,
Penney creates her own versions of characters like Marie Antoinette,
the famous magician and forger Cagliostro, and the transvestite spy
Chevalier d'Eon. Penney's innovative prose transcends the
conventional narrative closure readers have come to expect.
