"So funny -- Nabokov meets Spinal Tap." - Stephen Merchant"Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant." - Tim Key"Absolutely miraculous." - Jesse Eisenberg"A brain-swirlingly funny quest." - Robert PopperRichard Ayoades fictional quest to rescue Harauld Hughes - the almost mythical mid-century playwright - from obscurity. The gifted filmmaker, corduroy activist and amateur dentist, Richard Ayoade, first chanced upon a copy of The Two-Hander Trilogy by Harauld Hughes in a second-hand bookshop. At first startled by his uncanny resemblance to the authors photo, he opened the volume and was electrified. Terse, aggressive, and elliptical, what was true of Ayoade was also true of Hughess writing, which encompassed stage, screen, and some of the shortest poems ever published. Ayoade embarked on a documentary, The Unfinished Harauld Hughes, to understand the unfathomable collapse of Hughess final film O Bedlam! O Bedlam!, taking us deep inside the most furious British writer since the Boer War. This is the story of the story of that quest.

O protagonista deste romance nasceu em 1960 em Porto Alegre, mudou-se para o Rio de Janeiro e depois para Nova York, onde iniciou a carreira artística. Teve contato com ícones da pop art, como Andy Warhol, e esbaldou-se na cena noturna da badalada Big Apple. Como tantos outros de sua geraço, viu paixes se transformarem pelo medo do HIV. Contemporaneo de Basquiat, realizou performances, colagens, instalaçes e pinturas, vivendo tendencias como grafitti e body art. Apesar de ser agora comparado a grandes nomes como Leonilson, Banksy, Cildo Meireles e Marina Abramovi, Joo Pedro Bennetti Bier foi ignorado pela critica e pelo circuito de galerias do pais natal, o que torna o registro de sua exposiço retrospectiva um ato de reparaço. Por meio da parodia, recurso literario que Reginaldo Pujol renova a cada novo livro, temos em Nosso corpo estranho acesso aos textos de parede da mostra, e e como se caminhassemos por entre as obras. Mas quais delas? Sem imagens que lhes de materialidade, somos convidados a exercitar a imaginaço, deixar-nos levar pelas palavras de Reginaldo Pujol Filho que, ao assumir a curadoria, transforma-se em personagem de sua invenço. O curador-escritor se apropria da gramatica da critica de arte, distinguindo tres fases de Joo Pedro, ou "nosso JayPee" visceral, critica e tragica. Com humor, sarcasmo e muito dominio da linguagem, Pujol Filho descreve o arco da inocencia a desiluso, a descoberta e a intoxicaço com as engrenagens do meio artistico pelo qual passou o artista. E, como leitores, passamos pelo mesmo processo ao recebermos as pistas de que tudo no passa de engodo.Para alem da relaço com o mundo da arte, esta narrativa tambem tragica nos leva a pensar nos limites da ficço e em seus mecanismos. Do que e capaz a linguagem? O que e apenas verossimil e, mais profundo, o que e a realidade?
