Embark on a hallucinatory journey across an America that twists reality and satirizes consumerism in Ann Quin's 'Tripticks.' The narrative propels readers on a bizarre chase where the protagonist flees from his ex-wife and her current lover. Through dark humor, fragmented storytelling, and pre-punk sentiments, this novel critiques societal norms while dissolving the boundaries of conventional prose. Illustrator Carol Annand contributes to the visual dissection of modern life, making 'Tripticks' a forerunner in avant-garde literary art and foreshadowing the radical style of writers like Kathy Acker.
