His internal monologue leaks out like static from a radio and informs the external; he’s tying up loose ends; he’s finishing long-paused sentences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRaw Sewage Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e is about making art and understanding the results as autobiography. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marc Bell (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly |  Hardback  |  2024-08-20","offer_id":44652770918655,"sku":"9781770467194","price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_ef42d952-0f77-4bbe-9f8d-f2202983eca6.jpg?v=1704316946","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781770467194","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
