The Greats, Abridged: A Broadside Portfolio (Vol. 3 No. 2)
Nothing is as expansive as great literature. A good novel transports you to a dreamlike state, good poetry rings in the back of your mind, and a good turn of phrase inspires you like nothing else. Yet, great literature can also be daunting. How should we approach T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land or Shakespeare’s Hamlet, let alone Proust’s À La Recherche Du Temps Perdu or Joyce’s Ulysses? Sometimes, an abridged version is helpful. Sometimes, we need a taste before we sit for a feast. Moreover, sometimes we need to see failure before we appreciate success, from the tortured writer’s block found in Kafka’s diary, to the self-doubt that causes great writers to burn their own work. With this in mind, we present these vignettes of the greats, abridged.
All broadside leaflets are hand crafted and letterpress printed on archival stock. From recipes to poetry, prose, and quotations, Thornwillow broadsides put literature in your pocket.
