The United States of Wind - A Travelogue (Paperback)

United States of Wind is sure to be a beautifully designed book. Daniel Canty's previous novel, Wigrum, was awarded the 2012 Grafika Grand Prize for Typography and placed third in the fiction category in the 2014 Alcuin Award for Book Design in Canada.The book has a novelistic drive, a poetic style, and essayistic depth. It follows an art history tangent. It is also a travel memoir. Will appeal to fans of "slipstream writing": a postmodern mode of writing "against" reality, rooted in the surreal, illogical, fantastic Traces of works by Jorge Luis Borges (Atlas), Italo Calvino (Invisible Cities) The book is the culmination of Canty's collaborative multimedia project with Patrick Beaulieu, which documents their roadtrip in images, video, text.
