Last
remnant of a 19th-century “domestic
engineering dynasty” and heir to what’s left of the family fortune, Gavin Twinge—founder of the
Doodaaa school—is the
original angry voice of
contemporary British art. After
Ralphael Steed meets him in a London bookshop, he becomes determined to unravel Twinge’s mystery and to discover how, after Duchamp, art lost its soul. Drawing inspiration from Twinge’s fellow Doodaaaists, Steed proves to be a truly inspired (fictional) biographer, as bit by bit, a picture of the lost soul of art emerges.
