Muffy: or A Transmigration of Selves
ISBN: 9781425996147 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Muffy: or a Transmigration of Selves" is the thin, zigzagging, three dimensional line between brilliance and insanity. Gulik, a man who claims to be an enlightened immortal cockroach in the service of the Goddess of chaos, is an interesting blend of equal parts Tom Robbins, Robert Anton Wilson, and Jhonen Vasquez.

It's the type of book that a young Countess Bathory might have kept in her bathroom. Gulik...
