Tripticks

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Ann Quin's wildest, funniest, freakiest, kinkiest, and best novel - a road-trip novel, a graphic novel, a spy novel, a Beat novel, an anti-novel - is available again, to inspire a new generation of mavericks.

First published in 1972, Ann Quin's fourth and final novel was a radical break from the introspective style she had developed in Three and Passages: a declaration of independence from all expectations.

Brashly experimental, ribald, and hilarious, Tripticks maps new territories for the novel - aspiring to a form of pop art via the drawings of the artist Carol Annand and anticipating the genre-busting work of Kathy Acker through collage and gory satire.

Splattering its pages with the story of a man being chased across a nightmarish America by his 'first X-wife', and her 'schoolboy gigolo', Tripticks was ground zero for the collision of punk energy with high style.
