Cistern Tawdry

3.9/5 ( ratings)

A giddy mixture of Lawrence Sterne and Tristan Tzara, Cistern Tawdry uses graphics, typographics, poetry, and prose narration to tell the story of a man who dies and is reborn in a quest to save his unborn child. Eckhard Gerdes is a writer whose energy and wit are always in the service of emotional and heartfelt storytelling; that he accomplishes this while also working at the very edge of the avant-garde is an almost unbelievable bonus. There is an excitement to reading his work which comes from the discovery that the freedom and power of the novel form are greater than the reader ever suspected. Cistern Tawdry is Eckhard Gerdes' magnum opus, his greatest work to date.
