Each of the twenty-nine full-page paintings in this oversize book contains an anomaly or an illusion. A single word above the painting extends and often deepens the layers of meaning. Some pictures are immediately accessible; others run the risk of becoming overly challenging when combined with a difficult word--mimetism, calefaction. The art is breathtaking, and it's easy to see this used for creative writing assignments.
