According to Plan (Foreshortened Edition)

by Rob Kovitz

Overview

"Clearly, someone had to have a plan, an idea, a beginning ..."

      - John McCabe, Stickleback

"What's the plan?"

      - youtube, Battlestar Actors Lay Out the Plan

Canadian author-artist Rob Kovitz is the creator of Treyf Books, inventive montage book projects that juxtapose texts and images collected from widely varied sources. Centered around a certain theme, he then recombines these findings to form new works of imagination that are at once multivalent and surprisingly cohesive. Kovitz's latest super-cut bookwork, According to Plan, begins with his interest in the word "plan," and every text selection includes the word "plan." The result is a funny, disquieting, and thought-provoking exploration of the human obsession with making plans.

About the Author

Rob Kovitz is the creator of Treyf Books, unusual and ingenious appropriation-montage "novels" that consist of texts and images compiled from various sources, usually obsessively related to one or more themes, and then imaginatively recombined through a process of highly subjective editing, ordering and juxtaposition. Kovitz's previous bookworks include Pig City Model Farm, Room Behavior, According to Plan, The Sweets of Home, and the 8-volume, 4750 page appropriation epic Ice Fishing in Gimli.
