Description
“Josh Frank visited my studio around 2003 and interviewed me for his, and Caroline Ganz’s, book FOOL THE WORLD – an aural history of a band called Pixies. He was interested in my rockets drawings on the Tromp le Monde cover and commissioned me to draw the cover of FOOL THE WORLD.
Later, when Black Francis was working on The Good Inn with Josh, I was asked to make some sample drawings. They liked them – and the result is the book you’re holding in your hands.” – Steven Appleby
A book based on a soundtrack score that has not yet been composed for a feature film that does not yet exist.” Pixies frontman Black Francis has approached writing his first book as he would do a song: with inventiveness and originality. The Good Inn tells the story of an eighteen-year-old known only as Soldier Boy who, after escaping a devastating explosion at the French port of Toulon, sets out on a bizarre journey across France. Navigating his way past homicidal gypsies, combative soldiers and porn-peddling peasants, he takes refuge at The Good Inn – and promptly finds himself centre stage in the making of the world’s first narrative pornographic movie. Unique and vividly imagined, The Good Inn is a touchingly comic story that brings turn-of-the-century France to life.
