Roof Books (Nov 2016)
BOOK ABT FANTASY, Chris Sylvester’s latest work and first with ROOF, assembles its own avant-garde tradition, positioned between the ethos of Bob Grenier’s CAMBRIDGE M’ASS, the demotic vocabulary and style of Gertrude Stein’s Lectures in America, and bow-tied with a similar contemporary verve and humor as Brandon Brown’s Flowering Mall, also a ROOF publication. BOOK ABT FANTASY weaves through fantastical subject matters, from mecha-unicorns locked in deathly duels, to SIMS-esque animated YouTube videos, to &squo;still lifes’ of apocalyptic places imaginable only as and in the text.
Chris Sylvester is a co-editor of Troll Thread, a Tumblr-based platform for the dissemination of experimental texts and internet-based works in operation since 2011. Aside from the thirteen books published on Troll Thread, his work has been distributed by the likes of GaussPDF, Area Sneaks, orworse.net, Model Homes, Double Room, and Dusie.
