Vignettes Of Ystov
Author: William Goldsmith
ISBN: 9780224090360
In paintings as fragile and fleeting as the stories they depict, and contained in the geometric frames of the constructivists, we zoom out and in, from panoramas of industry, train stations, monuments and squares, through falling snow and leaves, into the varied lives of Ystadt's inhabitants, both joyous and mournful. In the city: the poet Eugene Tusk stumbles upon old haunts where his old poetry society, the Strombold Collective used to perform, and reminisces.... As the vignettes progress they intersect and intrude on each other to form a multilayered narrative collage: glimpses of stories continuing, and life beyond the pages of the book. Vignettes of Ystadt is a series of miniature masterpieces: beautifully drawn and written with the clarity and concision of another master of the short form, Anton Chekhov. Also reminiscent of the film collage of Sergei Eisenstein and city sequences of John dos Passos' Manhattan Transfer, it heralds the arrival of a spectacular new talent onto the Cape Graphic novels list.
