Philip Trussell : Sentences

Philip Trussell’s Sentences are fallen aphorisms from a hermetic cosmos: quotidian and mystical, cantankerous and surprisingly humane. These cutting ripostes to the information age are more Elizabethan than postmodern, yet timeless in their devotion to the craft of disciplined observation. Trussell’s truncated satire probes at the habits of social life and the routines of ego with a nihilist’s shtick, discontinuous and unabashedly promethean. Sentences is a singular literary debut by a seasoned outsider artist. Edited by Bradley Ray King.

Sentences was designed and typeset in Jan Tschichold’s Sabon by Bradley Ray King & Kyle Schlesinger at Cuneiform Press in Austin, in the autumn of 2018. Printed in an edition of three hundred copies, of which twenty-six are lettered and signed by the author with a unique sentence penned below the colophon.
