Synopsis

James Franco the artist-actor-writer-director wears many hats—and in this new body of work, he poses as the characters in his favorite books. This miniature monograph collects 30 postcards, in which Franco reimagines book covers by stepping inside the cover scene. The postcards are prefaced by an essay by Franco about the work, along with a short text from THE THING editors.
