'Ghost'
is
a
good
word
for
all
the
nameless
longing
that
doesn't

in

-

I
felt

ghost

will
outlive
me.
A
fearless
and
exquisite
book.
Leanne Shapton has a way of making books entirely new, surreal, and uncanny, always experimenting with the ways image and text can be mixed to tell new stories, in new ways.Guestbookis a delicious haunting and leaves one with a chill of recognition for how we live as ghosts in this distant, distracted, and image-obsessed time.
It looks like a book, about the strangeness and sadness of love, but is really a house, and the house is haunted, and is still haunting me.
Guestbookdiscretely ushers us into the realms of the profound and the other worldly via the profane, the staged and the everyday. A rare and thrilling synthesis of literary sensibility and the artist's eye. The kind of picture book every grown up dreams of reading.
Through her experimental prose, Leanne Shapton has created aunique meditation on spectrality. Both a selection of mystical ghost stories and a tracing of ephemera and archival imagery,Guestbookidentifies the uncanny nature of everyday life. Shapton glides seamlessly through each of the many vignettes that make up this haunting work which ispart poem, part novel, part artwork, and everything in between.
In this astounding book, full of exquisitely disquieting narrative gestures and found ghosts, LeanneShapton proves herself a master scrap-booker of the unconscious, a brilliant bricolage comic, and a fierce and subtle artistic provocateur. Enter these worlds at your peril, and to your guaranteed delight.
Hard to describe and impossible to forget,Guestbookis genuinely haunting and wholly original: a book to be experienced more than read.
Shapton inventively explores the space between presence and absence, craftily blending images and text to articulate what cannot be explained, only sensed, making for a uniquely haunting and uncanny work.
In this perfectly uncanny collection of stories, Leanne Shapton explores the many things that follow and haunt us as we go about our lives, unsettling us in sometimes terrifying and sometimes exhilarating ways. Shapton's words are interwoven with images of art and artifacts, adding to the surreal aura of each of the stories, reminding us of the always pulsing energy that imbues nearly everything around us, always, whether we feel it right away or not.
It's fascinating to see what happens when we try to tell stories we don't quite have words for. That's why Leanne Shapton'sGuestbook-comprised of vignettes, photographs, and original paintings-is the perfect medium (get it?) for these ghost stories.
Guestbookreveals Shapton as a ventriloquist, a diviner, a medium, a force, a witness, a goof, and above all, a gift. One of the smartest, most moving, most unexpected books I have read in a very long time.
Leanne Shapton's "Guestbook" lifts the veil on what is unknowable, but deeply felt in periphery. Buy this book!
A book like no other: Shapton can lift up the most everyday things - family photographs, ordinary rooms, vintage dresses, Christmas wrapping-paper - and give the reader a glimpse of the teeming ghostworld beneath.
I can't wait to see how form and function unite here.
Guestbookis a profoundly sympathetic work, and one filled with yearning. That yearning, like a ghost, lingers long after the stories are done.
The short story is an arena - or a literary gym - where writers can flex muscles that might seem out of place in a novel. Leanne Shapton has tremendous form in both genres, in fact, but her collectionGuestbookpushes the envelope in the most beguiling, clever and provocative ways. Full of images, photos, wrapping paper, competing texts, and meta-meta-fictional fun and games, it's a mind-bending celebration of the form's potential.
Sharp prose and visual artwork combine in these seductive modern ghost stories...this book is an artefact in itself - a tactile, mysterious and seductive one. Read it once and you'll be very likely to find yourself eyeing it every now and again, wondering whether it's exactly where you left it, and whether you could possibly have turned down the corner of this page or that
Guestbookis a catalogue of what haunts us and, more often than not, as withImportant Artifacts, it is the little things.
