AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A collection of three short stories combining the art of photomontage, and writing to produce a humourous and ironic look at life in the modern world. "Journey of a Wise Electron" is a story about obsessive TV viewing habits. ". . . But She Could Sing and Dance Too (Stirring Stories for Girls)" relates the life of a young woman coming to terms with her acting career. "And This Little Man Went to Work" uses photomontage to portray the dangers of blind obsession with work in an industrial world.' (Publication summary)
