1 1 y separately published work icon The Toy of the Spirit Anthony Mannix , Waratah : Puncher and Wattmann , 2019 18861605 2019 single work prose

'Material is drawn from his 3-year practice of creating hand-written artist books and is the first time it has been widely available to the public. Mannix's work centres on the documentation and investigation of his experiences of schizophrenia and, what is for him, madness' implicit creativity and value.

'Mannix's texts range widely in approach, employing humour and poetry, diaristic reflection, images, heart-felt emotion, anthropological cataloguing, description and explanation. By turns visionary, philosophical, experimental and erotic, Mannix's writing, in all its varied manifestions is any unconscious worlds. He is, as he suggests, an anthropologist of the unconscious.'
