Download or read book As Much Gold as an Ass Could Carry written by Vivienne Plumb and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-11 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plumb creates through the written word, Otto through line; this book combines their two narratives. The image/text conflation moves between form over meaning, and meaning over form. Otto¿s exuberant gestures interact with Plumb¿s luminous humour, as if two performers are present on the page together. As Much Gold as an Ass Could Carry showcases Plumb¿s poetry, fiction and drama, from a twenty-year literary career. Within these large, funny, barbed, affecting themes, the power of the social construct ­­¿ of what it means to be female ­­¿ is laid bare. Otto¿s graphic wit ornaments and underwrites Plumb¿s written traceries. This collaboration between artist and writer was initiated by split/fountain, as part of their ongoing engagement with publishing as a performative act

Book excerpt: Written towards the end of the second century AD, The Golden Ass tells the story of the many adventures of a young man whose fascination with witchcraft leads him to be transformed into a donkey. The bewitched Lucius passes from owner to owner - encountering a desperate gang of robbers and being forced to perform lewd 'human' tricks on stage - until the Goddess Isis finally breaks the spell and Lucius is initiated into her cult.
