Paradoxymoron: Foolish Wisdom in Words and Pictures
Patrick Hughes, April 2011
cover paradoxymoron
An unorthodox text-book of words and pictures from many periods and places, this book is a warm tribute rather than a cold rebuke to the contradiction in terms. Paradoxymoron is about vicious circles and infinity, relativity and nothing: a topsy-turvy world of serious jokes and foolish wisdom.
The book has 50,000 words, 90 pictures, 240 pages, one of which is hand-painted and sells at £20 (including postage and packing).
