Sinossi
Presented as a collection of articles about apocryphal artworks, exhibitions, books and other cultural phenomena, Sunsets and Dogshits follows the convention of a collected writings book. Most pieces adopt a well-recognized format for example a catalogue essay for an exhibition, a book review or an item of sports correspondence but at the same time they incorporate incongruous elements or attempt to see things from inverted perspectives. For example, The Hudson Variation is a review of a book about chess hooliganism, while Whipping Boys imagines the criminal memoir written from the viewpoint of professional victims, and The George Carnegie Award is a critical review of the writers shortlisted for the best use of a semicolon in the English language.
