The Tutu

£15.00

‘The Tutu’ is a genuine literary mystery: a lost masterpiece. Published in 1891, it never made it to bookshops. Its existence was only revealed in 1966, by a famous literary hoaxer, and until a handful of actual copies turned up some years later, it was presumed to be a myth or fabrication. But ‘The Tutu’ was real, and not only was it real, but it was a quite flabbergasting novel whose aim was the flaccidification of humanity.

Description

The Tutu is a genuine literary mystery: a lost masterpiece. Published in 1891, it never made it to bookshops. Its existence was only revealed in 1966, by a famous literary hoaxer. It is the ultimate decadent novel’, but also outlandishly modern; it is excessive, repellent, infantile and riotously funny. Yet despite its absurdities, its eccentricities and its extravagance, in the end it somehow manages to appear compassionate, poetic, tender… even rational.’
