The Mostrous and the Marvelous

[Dave Monroe]

See, here, Ch. 1, "Optical Terror," on J. Swift ...

Ducornet, Rikki.  The Monstrous and the Marvelous.
   San Francisco: City Lights, 1999.

"In this collection of essays Rikki Ducornet focuses
her remarkable intellect on the monstrous and the
marvelous. A subversive aesthetic of terror and
pleasure informs her assessment of writings by Swift,
Kafka, Borges, Angela Carter, and Robert Coover, films
by the Brothers Quay and David Lynch, and artworks by
Joseph Cornell, Ramón Alejandro, and Rosamond
Purcell."

be interested in.  Fecality, gnosticism, anamorphoses,
Kabala, wunderkammern, et al. ...
