   Book Review

Daniel Quinn, author of Ishmael
The Nambuli Papers represents one of the most hilariously prodigious feats in the history of literature.

Midwest Book Review
"... interconnected gateway to a new and quite unusual literary gestalt and a seminal, groundbreaking herald of cohesive multimedia storytelling."

Book Description
A mythological adventure in art, magic and the circus, centered on the life of a turn-of-the-century escape artist, The Nambuli Papers is a tour-de-force of imagination and playfulness, a universe of possibilities and an exploration of the boundaries between fiction and reality. The Nambuli Papers redefines the literary canvas through the use of original film, sculpture, photography, and a boardgame.

About the Author
Greg Boyd is the author of a dozen books, among them an illustrated novel entitled The Double (Leaping Dog Press), a short story collection Water & Power, an illustrated collection of prose poems, Carnival Aptitude (both Asylum Arts), and the first complete English language translation of French poet Charles Baudelaire’s novella La Fanfarlo (Creative Arts). From 1985 to 1995 he edited the literary and arts magazine Asylum. A visual artist as well as a writer, Boyd's relief prints, photo-montages and interactive paintings have been exhibited at west coast galleries, book fairs and alternative art spaces, and appear frequently in journals and as illustrations for books. From 1985 to 1988 he taught writing and literature at California State University, Northridge. In 1989, he was artist in residence at Unicorn Press, Inc., where he learned letterpress printing and handset and printed a limited edition of his prose poems and linoleum block illustrations entitled Puppet Theatre. Since then he has worked as a free-lance writer, as an artist, and as the publisher of Asylum Arts Books. His most recent projects include a novella entitled "The Widow" which appears in a book entitled Three the Hard Way: Erotic Novellas, edited by Susie Bright and published by Simon & Schuster in July 2004, and the screenplay (co-written with director A. D. Liano) of the forthcoming film Seven Fallen Objects. Greg Boyd was born in upper state New York, raised and educated in Los Angeles, now lives with his wife in rural Northern California and is currently at work developing an existential variety show for television, translating his prose poems into French, and writing an allegorical fiction that is "simple, stark, and direct."
