From the Atelier Tovar: Selected Writings
Editorial Reviews
The Village Voice
'Maddin, meticulous forger of ready-decayed cinematic artifacts, is no day-tripper in the realms of literature.'
Book Description
One of the Village Voice's 25 Best Books of 2003!
Guy Maddin is one of Canada's most celebrated and original filmmakers, and the director of such delirious films as Tales from the Gimli Hospital, Careful, and The Saddest Music in the World. Few know, however, that he is just as gifted a writer, and his resolutely purple prose, as eccentric and enchanting as his film work, is a true delight. From the Atelier Tovar gathers, in one volume, the best of Maddin's writing: his journalism (originally published in the Village Voice, Cinema Scope, Film Comment), unpublished short stories and film treatments, and selections, both lurid and illuminating, from the filmmaker's personal journals. What emerges, in the end, is a singular portrait of this unique artist.
