Daniel Grandbois' writing is funny, avant-garde and stubbornly defiant of any one label and has been described as 'avant-garde stand-up', 'Dr Seuss for adults' and 'between Brautigan and Basho'. Alfredo Benavidez Bedoya's surreal and satirical woodcuts are collected by major museums across the world. Together, they have created a happening as much as a book - something to be carried in one's pocket, taken on journeys, opened on any page and consulted for its absurd brand of wisdom.
Of early French Canadian and Chipewa descent, Grandbois was born in Minnesota and raised in Colorado. He is the author of Unlucky Lucky Days, a collection of short tales, upcoming from BOA. A musician, he has played bass for Tarantella and Slim Cessna's Auto Club An Argentine artist, Bedoya's art can be found in many of the great museum's of the world, including the Royal Museum of Belgium, the National Library of Paris and The New York Public Library. Illustrator of over a dozen books, he did the art for a collector's editon of Salman Rushdie's The Firebird Nest.
