THE FORGETTING ROOM: A FICTION, VOL. 1
Bantock, Nick
1997 14852 Behind the locked door of an artist's studio lie strangely constructed objects, worn furniture - and a painfully exquisite secret. When the artist dies, his grandson, Armon Hunt, inherits the house and everything in it, including the secret. As Armon begins to remember his childhood art lessons, he is gradually drawn into a mystifying game that not only will unlock his grandfather's past, but secure his own future. 8" x 9". Color illustrations and folding cards. When his grandfather dies, Armon inherits the family home in Ronda, Spain, and finds himself trying to unravel the surreal conundrum his grandfather has left for him. Armon begins to remember his childhood art lessons, and gradually, as his grandfather's studio takes hold of him, he finds himself pulled, day by day, toward a most extraordinary elliptic link with his past. Binding art and text in a narrative marriage, Nick Bantock takes us to the Forgetting Room, where he teases us through a tale of discovery, revenge, alchemy, and Moorish legend.
