Kris Martin | Idiot




Kris Martin
Idiot
Aspen, US: Aspen Art Press, 2009
1496 pp., 11.4 x 3.8 x 14.6 cm., imitation leather

Belgian artist Kris Martin has transcribed, by hand, the entirety of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s 1869 novel The Idiot, substituting his own name for that of the book’s protagonist Myshkin.

I got my copy from Amazon.com for little over ten dollars, so I'm not sure why this reseller has it listed for $666.39.
