About the Book
Originally published in 2001, in a limited hand made three volume edition, this is the first print edition of a key work in the development of James Merrick's oeuvre. Merrick describes 'Paving Stones' as an "abstract graphic novel" utilising as it does the familiar text and image format of the comic book. The text and images of 'Paving Stones' have been collaged from a variety of sources (newspapers, magazines, books on myth, revolutionary tracts), and the result is part protest, part parody, and wholly surreal.

About the Creator
James Merrick is an experimental writer who blurs the boundaries between writing and art. He has written a number of books including two volumes of short experimental texts (A Story & Dead End Novel), a two volume study on the narrative of dream (Somnia), and a book of short essays on art, culture and technology (With One Eye on the Road). Some of James' texts have been presented as visual art, such as the collage novel Paving Stones, the projection Octavio Paz, Single Words, Left Aligned, 1957-1987, and A Story which Merrick has transformed into a sound piece.
