The Thing Quarterly, a publication that comes “in the form of an object,” has a new issue out featuring the work of author Dave Eggers.The McSweeney’s founder has given a new meaning to idea of reading in the bathroom. His text is printed on a shower curtain for people to read while getting clean. It costs $65.
The Thing Quarterly has more: “Published on a shower curtain, with the idea that one would read it while showering, this issue is a monologue told to Dave Eggers by his shower curtain. It was produced in collaboration with Izola and is printed on a 72×72 inch PEVA (PVC Free) shower curtain.” (Via Jacket Copy).
Is it printed on both sides? If not, are we to read mirror writing while showering (an astonishing feat of multi-tasking) or to read this gem of creative writing only while towelling off? Perhaps, in the interests of aesthetics and a better-looking product photo, the publishers attached the shower curtain the wrong way around?
