Monologues for Calculating the Density of Black Holes

By Anders Nilsen

An experimental collection of art, humor and philosophy. Monologues forCalculating the Density of Black Holes takes up where the artist's firstvolume, Monologues for the Coming Plague , left off. Like the ComingPlague , the Density of Black Holes is a creatively experimentallaboratory, comprising a collection of free flowing stream-of-consciousnessgags, strips, and drawings that slowly coalesce into an unexpectedly compellingand complex narrative. The hints of story that came together in ComingPlague are extrapolated and expanded upon and grow to incorporate some ofNilsen's other outré strips from the anthology MOME , two of whichare reprinted here in expanded form. The book is an audacious investigation intothe rhythms of storytelling, the blurring of media, and an exercise inreconciling contrasts. It is playful, provocative and serious all at once -another tour de force by Anders Nilsen, impeccably and uniquely designed, inblack and white and color.
