Synopsis "Elegy for Joseph Cornell (Argentinian Literature)"

Elegy for Joseph Cornell is at once a monologue; a collection of metafictional microfictions; a series of prose poems; an artist's quest; the hero's journey; a filmography, biography, bibliography, and inventory; a travel scrapbook; and a guidebook for creativity.Argentinian writer María Negroni transcends form and genre as she explores, with both luminous and illuminating results, the life of Joseph Cornell, a solitary urban artist whose work also defied conventional classification.
