Meatphysics by Jake Chapman

by Jake Chapman

A progressive and uncompromising work that merges fiction and theory to create an intense yet gloriously deviant look at the world through the eyes of controversial Brit-artist, Jake Chapman (of the Chapman Brothers). With protagonists who-like his mutated Nike-wearing child mannequins-exhibit similar aberrations, Chapman engages with Freudian theory, genetic engineering and consumerism, to create a highly original and intellectually stimulating work that is as challenging and confrontational as any of his acclaimed works of art.

Infantile trash. Chapman's hubris manages to simultaneously take your money and provide no enjoyment. The majority text of the book are malformed unicode characters. Lazy nihilist post-modern crap (and I have a soft spot for that genre).

Chapman tried to reinvent Finnegans Wake, and incredibly manages to be even more obnoxious than Joyce.
