INQUIRE

Laurence Harvey, originally known as an actor, now lends his name to a captivating book—a subject, or perhaps merely a name gracing the pages—accompanied by the subtitle: "Motion Pictures, White Wine, Older Women and Thin Cigarettes." Why should we delve into the study of an actor's life, delving into their sexual preferences, neuroses, and dietary habits, when their celebrity leaves us dangerously captivated? The answer lies in this remarkable work of art, akin to a suppressed script from Hollywood's past, now resurrected as an imaginary film, where the protagonist feels somewhat familiar to us. Embedded within Matthew Brannon's creation, this experimental biography unfolds as a true literary masterpiece—a montage of excerpts, witness accounts, and interior monologues, adorned with thoughtful quotes from Derrida.  Witness for yourself the grandeur of its large format, its soft cover adorned with delicately traced moiré fabric, and the meticulously silkscreened illustrations in four matte colors. Encased in a handcrafted shirt box, tailored with precision akin to a creation from Savile Row, it awaits your discovery.
