Résumé :

Elegy for Joseph Cornell?is at once a monologue; a collection of metafictional microfictions; a series of prose poems; an artist?s quest; the her?s journey; a filmography, biography, bibliography, and inventory; a travel scrapbook; and a guidebook for creativity.

Argentinian writer Mar?a Negroni?transcends form and genre as she explores, with both luminous and illuminating results, the life of Joseph Cornell, a solitary urban artist whose work also defied conventional classification.
