The process is a series of indignities, bubble wrapped frames, unpaid invoices, art lost through neglect or in the mail. Bell uses autofiction, collage, straight comix, tight cross hatching, loose doodling, repurposed in-flight magazines, envelopes, grocery lists, and snatches of late night CBC radio to examine a lost decade as he wanders from coast to coast. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a century, these will be our illuminated manuscripts, our sacred texts, our guides to life for now they are simply the truth--the irritating, confounding, glorious truth.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarc Bell\u003c\/b\u003e was born in London, Ontario, and has befuddled and bemused his readers for almost twenty years.
