A classic collection of stories – all told on the body of a man – by the author of Fahrenheit 451.
If El Greco had painted mini works at his best period, no larger than your hand, with indescribable details, he might possibly have used this man's body for his art…
However, the Illustrated Man has tried to burn the illustrations. He has attempted with sandpaper, acid, and knife. Because, as the sun sets, the images emerge like coals, like scattered precious gems. They tremble and come to life. Tiny pink hands gesture, small mouths flutter as the figures perform their stories – the voices rise, small and quiet, predicting the future.
Here are sixteen tales: sixteen illustrations… the fifteenth is your own future, narrated on the body of the Illustrated Man.
