From the Excerpts From Ice Fishing in Gimli Series. About the Author Rob Kovitz is the creator of Treyf Books, ingenious montage-appropriation novels that consist of texts and images compiled from various sources, usually obsessively related to one or more themes, and then recombined to form new works of imagination that are both profusely polyphonic and surprisingly cohesive. Kovitz's previous bookworks include Pig City Model Farm, Room Behavior, Games Oligopolists Play, Death Wish Starring Charles Bronson Architect, Capital of the World, According to Plan, and the 8-volume award-winning appropriation epic, Ice Fishing in Gimli.

Only the author knows for sure." - Canadian Architect
