bles. Impossible to appreciate without
knowing Maddin’s roster of iconic memo-

Maddin’s lens. At turns bitter, joyous, and
often bitingly hilarious, the collection is
difficult to put down. But whether the
reader has gotten into the mind of Guy
Maddin is something perhaps only Maddin
himself can say.
