THE METAMORPHOSIS by (Helen Frank) | Make Your Own Book




NICK THURSTON In My Own Words

Guerrilla Writers

ISBN 978-1-908452-15-3
£5 (plus shipping) and can be purchased from Lulu

9 x 6 inches, 68 pages, b&w, perfect bound, printed by Lulu. Published and designed by Guerrilla Writers using AND Public.

A speculative autobiography that plots the rise, fall and sideways movement of artist and writer Nick Thurston as well as his struggle to actually write the book itself. Based in Sheffield, UK, Guerrilla Writers are a loose collection of artist-writers enamoured of the idea that re-thinking what writing can be for artists is as much use as any other practice. Through editorial collaboration, authorial displacement and textual appropriation they have written an autobiography.
