Through a Mixture of words and images, including photographs of invented and real objects, bogus documents, drawings, altered engravings, and short stories in catalog note form, The Museum at Purgatory is a novel depicting an imaginary and highly surreal museum of the netherworld. The museum's curator, Non, narrates the tales behind each room, and discusses Purgatory, life, and the afterlife. He also takes the reader on a guided tour of his 10 favorite rooms at the museum, each exhibiting artwork and an account of the person who sponsored it. Ending with Non's own story -- his life, his arrival at Purgatory, and his possible final destination -- this singular work will leave readers breathless with wonder and surprise.
