The Pit of Despair calls, but you need not fall, for you have KNOWLEDGE of FACTS. Don&#8217;t you? NO?!!! Then you need this book. Filled with 100 surreal collages illustrating 100 facts, this book sidesteps wordy confusing explanations in favour of presenting photo-real images of FACTS and only FACTS, as snatched from the realms of delirium and dreaming. Does this sound true? Well, it&#8217;s definitely weird&#8211;and that&#8217;s a fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"582\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/xtian-applecore-dancer.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-931\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/xtian-applecore-dancer.jpg 700w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/xtian-applecore-dancer-300x249.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/xtian-applecore-dancer-210x175.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption>untitled by Xtian<br>3.5&#8243;x4.7&#8243;; newspaper clippings; 2001.
