Intoxicated by the promise of a promotion, Charles Singular for once
allows himself a small extravagance: he buys a bowler hat. But there's a
problem: this is no ordinary hat. This one once belonged to the
surrealist painter Rene Magritte, and by donning it Charles has
unwittingly stepped into the artist's off-kilter world. What's more, he
can't escape--at least, not until he has illuminated the secrets behind
Magritte's work. What follows is a hallucinatory journey through
Magritte's imaginative landscape, a place where facial features mutate,
the crescent moon appears in unexpected places, and answers prove
frustratingly elusive. In Magritte: This is not a Biography, Vincent
Zabus and Thomas Campi have created a panoramic and revealing portrait
of the great surrealist, employing a playfulness and wit reminiscent of
Magritte himself.
