The culmination of the Pandora's Bluff story cycle, which took 33 years in total to complete.
Tangents is a mosaic work consisting of exactly one hundred linked flash fictions. The last of these fictions is a prequel to the first story in the cycle.
"In the brief narratives of this new work, Hughes's obsessions, humour, unique perceptions, and subversions of language come to the forefront. Tangents is yet another essential contribution from an author who is as significant as he is unconventional.
This book has a perfect square format (7.87 × 7.87 in.), 90 pages, with an exclusive, painfully handcrafted Japanese binding style. As usual, this new chapbook edition will be very scarce: only 30 copies, plus some (very few) private copies."
