Alan Clements' new book.

Problem is there is no "look inside" option on Amazon--and it's difficult to buy such an expensive book without seeing a sample.
Not clear from the review above if it's an AI generated novel like Maus or Persepolis or Zahra's Paradise. His 1988 based coffee table book was visually very arresting.
it's my understanding that mainstream publishers and magazines don't take books any part of which is AI generated.
Maybe that's why Clements self-published?
Self Publication leads to not very tight editing.
But I think the bias of the above reviewer is uncalled for.
Seems too pro-junta.
Writers and artists are allowed to be as ideosyncratic as they wish. That's the whole point of creating something.
