Chasing Black Rainbows

Here Jeremy Reed embodies the drug-ravaged persona of Antonin Artaud, incarcerated in the asylum of Rodez under the care of Dr Gaston Ferdiere, to project a novel of uncompromising poetic vision. Integrated into Artaud's quest for the visionary cosmos are vignettes of subtly delineated eroticism: the lesbian relationship in Paris between Anais Nin and June Miller (wife of Henry); the incestuous affair of Denise, a patient at Rodez, with her father; not to mention Dr Ferdiere's own sensual fantasies.
