Isis Rhinoceros, even if less prolifically, could be the Aphex Twin and/or latter-day Mozart of letters.

'A fission of a doubly divorced emigre's fantasies and humiliations', The Great Glastonbury, academically entitled Professor Glastonbury's Possibly Amazing Theory Of The Alphabet, is arguably at once the funniest and most brilliant thing ever written in anything resembling English.

A sort of epic poem slash novella and/or novel. It comes on like an essay-slave-narrative-hybrid and is alleged to be a luminescent fugitive consideration of sex, tennis, life expectancy, and linguistic/other triggered magic. Revered and lovely literary maverick Tantra Bensko calls it "an important work of literature" overflowing with the "passionately beautiful". The spot-lit covers of two basically textually identical deep internet proof releases are perhaps implied to involve obscenely versatile hero/anti-hero Peter Glastonbury's painting and/or sculpture. Robert Glück, Michelle Foucault's favorite writer some days, places The Great Glastonbury alongside Gertrude Stein's best work, its indeed rather elusive author's contributions "beyond criticism -- at least by me", language summoned somehow through a broken keyboard.

Its text the very latest gentle Glastonbury edit, this incarnation boasts the earliest Isis Ox proof cover complete with a 369 magic square and reverential morphing of one multiply referenced Dürer (1514).
