Summary

A masterpiece of chilling suspense, this psychological thriller is a mesmerizing journey into the mind of a brilliant, engagingly witty, but disturbingly deceitful woman who uses an encrypted blog to communicate with her ex-lover, Callum. Hauntingly poetic, the ingenious plot will leave you confounded at every turn. The story unfolds entirely through Vivienne's entries on her blog, which include her threatening communiqués to her ex-lover, Cal, and others. Through her often lyrical, at times deeply philosophical, and always utterly engrossing writing, Vivienne conveys her thoughts, her memories, and her peculiar version of events Obsession leads Vivienne to stalk Cal and his new partner, Mary--and worse. But when she is arrested and placed in a psychological hospital, a shocking truth causes her entire narrative to become suspect. Does her refusal to acknowledge this point to truth, manipulation and deceit, or the delusions of an increasingly demented mind ?

Summary

This a collaboration between the artist Nick Fedaeff, and a collective of writers known as KK Jart. Nick Fedaeff is a Russian artist living and working in New Zealand. His art is exhibited and sold around the world. This particular collection of his work is an exploration of life through a child's eyes. Each painting is inspired by a childhood memory, and depict the universal emotions of joy, curiosity and fear, which speak to adults and children alike. The KK Jart writers respond to each picture, bringing their own creativity to the experience of viewing Fedaeff's art. A picture is worth a thousand words - but each Fedaeff painting contains a thousand stories. On any page here you may find a thought that mirrors your own response. Or you may not. Some will make you laugh. Some will move you. Others may be incomprehensible or appear unrelated to the image in question. This does not make them wrong and it does not make them right - which is precisely the point.
