Desire and Pursuit of the Whole by Andy Warhol

Desire and Pursuit of the Whole by Andy Warhol

This is the Death in Venice, Thomas Mann would not have dared to write and is one of the classic books on Venice at a time when it served as an home for undesirables from all over Europe as well as erotic vacation destinations for some. The Desire and Pursuit of the Whole stands as a uniquely scurrilous sensual testament to Frederick Rolfe's fervent affection for the physical beauty of the city of Venice and it's a inhabitants. Published posthumously in 1934, the original edition was heavily edited version and only first published in its entirety in 1993. Since new photographs of Rolfe and his world have come to light and this is the first annotated edition with libel details.

'Interweaves a nightmare and a day-dream.. Terrifying' W.H. Auden; 'Written from the devil's side' Graham Greene

Frederick Rolfe has written perverse yet classic accounts of his life which have drawn bestselling writers such as Graham Greene, W.H. Auden and A.S. Byatt to him. His love for Venice was such that he could not bear to leave it even though he was penniless during the years he wrote this book, was shunned by Italians and English alike and died. Andrew Eburne is a don at St Catherine's College Oxford.
