...The drawings bear clear allusions to detailed Victorian and Art Noveau graphics, as well as to Japanese culture, Dutch earthenware, impressions of the far north, baroque miniatures that depersonalise people and objects with complex decor. The tie between illustration and text lies in the "non" characterisation. The characters recounted are stereotypes, nameless and ageless, who interpret non-stories: shadowy nursery rhymes with no moral.
The book is a collection of notes and stylistic items, a catalogue that plots out an iconographical alphabet. The book was produced privately in a limited edition (100) and distributed in several bookshops and art & design shops in Florence, Milan and Bologna.
