Description

Conjunctions: 54, Shadow Selves

Edited by Bradford Morrow

Cover art is by Stephen Berkman: The History of Dread: A Guide for the Perplexed. Reproduced by kind permission of the photographer.

Shadow Selves tackles the venerable theme of Self and Other, tracing the very nature of identity itself with narratives of dopplegängers, deceivers, and the delusional.
