Outlandish
By David Bramwell
Countercultural Heroes and Journeys
A new full-colour, beautifully designed compendium of biographies, singular journeys, and a graphic novella from author David Bramwell.
In the company of Werner Herzog, Eva Peron, Gram Parsons, Marina Abramovic, Grayson Perry, William Burroughs and Andrew Kotting—to name but a few—Bramwell takes the roads less travelled, unearthing an artist’s pilgrimage around the world with a giant, inflatable “deadad;” the world’s biggest treasure hunt, an extraordinary eleven-year odyssey involving Evita’s mummified corpse, an ethnobotanist’s search for the psychedelic secrets of the Amazon, and a couple who walked the Great Wall of China from opposite ends, only to spilt up when they finally met in the middle.
Outlandish is also peppered with the colourful biographies of Pop Art nun Sister Corita Kent, the singer and human rights activist Paul Robeson, psychonaut Amanda Feilding, theosophist Madam Blavatsky, and hirsute wizard and author, Alan Moore. At the very end—and with dazzling illustrations from Nye Wright—is a Brighton-based graphic novella that incorporates the town’s hidden river, Aleister Crowley’s ashes, and the occult talisman known as the Hand of Glory.
Did Andy Warhol’s penis really end up on the moon? Read this book and you’ll find out.
The Peculiar Parish Bookshop is proud to carry this fascinating collection of interviews and cultural histories.
Published by David Bramwell (2024). A new book in perfect condition.
176-page perfect-bound paperback, profusely illustrated throughout.
