ooh I love his work. Didn't know he was a writer too! I recall seeing an expo of his blast years in london, it was awesome.

this is like that that episode of curb where larry whistles wagner but not quite because i agree with the wagner haters - why not just go to an exhibition of hitler painting

I wrote my second year dissertation at university on Tarr. “In writing Tarr I wanted at the same time for it to be a novel, and to do a piece of writing worthy of the hand of the abstract innovator…”
