Henderson's Galerie de Difformité. With the head of a novel and the body of a poem, this extraordinary work interrogates the nuanced concepts of ability\/disability, voyeurism\/exhibition, deformity\/normality--all with a wry sense of self-representational humor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA lineage that bequeaths mysterious relics to an unsuspecting recipient, led through a textual labyrinth by Bea: a deformed reincarnation of Dante's muse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe story-within-a-story takes shape through the mysterious \"Undertaker\"--a perhaps reanimated-yet-disabled Beatrice, intertwined with the contemporary Gloria Heys and the presumed publisher, Gretchen E. Henderson. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn infamous brotherhood called Ye Ugly Face Clubb. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLushly designed with crowdsourced images, text deconstructions, and enough narrative tomfoolery to make Tristram Shandy blush, the Galerie is both funhouse and curiosity cabinet, art catalogue and \"choose your own adventure.\" This bestiary of the novel-as-poem-as-essayas- art grows outside of the bounds of the Book and, in the process, redefines deformity for the digital millennium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gretchen E.
