The Logogryph

“It is a book that sends you spinning off into lovely reveries of longing and desire. It is the kind of book you will recommend to close friends and family with words like: You have to read this! You must read this book!”  EDMONTON JOURNAL

The Logogryph takes its cues from magic realism and the techniques of cinematography. The result is a mind-bending caper through the process of reading, the relationships we establish with fictitious worlds and the possibility of worlds yet unread. Wharton indulges his reader with tales of fantastical cities where the only occupation is reading and of the plight of a protagonist suddenly dislodged from his own novel. And what becomes of the reader who reads all of this?
