A wordless novel concerning Hebdomeros' inability to grab hold of language. Faye provides a one-page introduction, letterpress, explaining the myth that informed her illustrated narrative. Faye's linocuts are enchanting, combining a 1920s avant-garde aesthetic with an contemporary vibe that's quite electric.
