"The resourceful pair began experimenting with illicit and prescription drugs, insecticides, and eventually radioisotopes."
Though admired by Terry Gilliam, optioned by Tim Burton, and compared to David Lynch, GEEK LOVE remains unadapted for the screen: a novel too big for the movies. A pristine copy in the iconic dust jacket by Chip Kidd, "now arguably the most prolific, best-known book cover designer of all time," who found inspiration in "Dunn's own original language and her brilliant storytelling" (Roper).
