Foreword by Allen Bratton
“Truly unlike any other book I have read. Shakespeare and AntiShakespeare, a time-slipping tragicomedy of errors, grim and gorgeous, sparkling and sliding with wit and melancholy . . . Picture of Nobody is a masterpiece, and a very strange one too.” —David Tibet, Current 93
Transposed into the early twentieth century, a nonentity named Shakespeare rails against poverty, mediocrity, and misunderstanding, in forgotten modernist Philip Owens’s brilliant, one-of-a-kind satire.
