Anyone read any of the books from the Bologna-based collective known variously as "Luther Blissett" and "Wu Ming" (which, apparently, is Mandarin for "no name" and widely used by Chinese dissidents)?
Their first novel, Q, won a Guardian award, although I haven't read it yet.
Just started '54, which is out now in paperback, and brings in Trieste revolutionaries, Cary Grant and Italian-American mobsters in an epic story spanning the entire year of, well, 1954.
I must say, it's rather super so far. A must for any aspiring Situationist, I'd have thought.
You can download their books here. |
