De Markies van Water is possibly the most experimental novel ever written. In a magical meta-language of his own creation, Dutch author and multimedia artist Hilarius Hofstede forges a modern-day flood myth by channeling the interior monologue of a mad aristocrat known as the Marquis. When an H-bomb explodes inside his head, a flood of fragmented and reassembling words comes bursting through the 'dikes of reason' to inundate and utterly transform the world as we know it... The 20th-anniversary edition of this astoundingly transformative text - written during the last decade of the 20th century - contains an afterword by the author and several reproductions from the original manuscript notebooks.
Praise for De Markies van Water
'This is war!' - Russian poet Konstantin Kedrov 'Insane. Does not contain a single normal word.' - Dutch newspaper Het Parool 'A miracle.' - Writer and philosopher Patrick Healy
