The Marriage of Reason & Squalor
"In his first work of fiction, artist Jake Chapman slashes the romantic novel down to bare bone and constructs his own disfigured version from the slaughtered remains." "Chlamydia Love is gifted her very own tropical island by her fiance, where she develops a grudging adoration for its real owner, the enigmatic bestselling author, Helmut Mandragorass. A battle between her fiance and Helmut ensues, for ownership of the island and ultimately for the love of Chlamydia." "This mercilessly subversive tale is illustrated by Chlamydia's watercolours entitled Visions or Morass, images inspired by the island as she struggles with her feelings of agony and ecstasy."--BOOK JACKET.

Memoirs of My Writer's Block
The book follows the crushing and often bizarre process of having to get your novel written by someone else. The author, wracked with creative energy, resorts to poetry in a desperate attempt to relieve the tension built up over months of waiting for other - apparently more accomplished - writers to finish her story.
2+2=5
A riotous new take on a classic fictional dystopia, with an all-you-can-eat quinoa buffet of wrongthink. With 2+2=5, George Orwell's flawed masterpiece finally receives a much-needed rectification, as Jake Chapman takes us on a bad trip into an atrocious alt-Eurasia--a nightmare utopia of 24/7 self-expression, mandatory wellbeing, yogic breathing, and promiscuous empathy. Yippie wonks in open-toed sandals have ejected the evil capitalist overlords, compassion and charity reign supreme, buckwheat salad and artisan cashew cheese are in plentiful supply, and all strive to live their best life, all the time. Employed by the Ministry to rectify misfortunes issuing from a curious glitch in the sys...
Jake and Dinos Chapman
Though the media has often focused exclusively on the shock value and use of horror effects in the work of Dinos and Jake Chapman, the artists have continued to address some of the most pertinent and controversial issues of our time: the endless human capacity for war, genetic manipulation, plastic surgery, cloning; the assumed asexuality and innocence of children; and the instability of moral and ideological belief systems. In this major exhibition catalogue is a more balanced critical response, including a variety of interpretations from leading writers and critics across different fields. Illustrating well-known and iconic works such as "Disasters of War" (1993) and "Great Deeds Against the Dead" (1994), the book also includes works that have rarely been reproduced before plus a number of new works created specifically for the accompanying Tate exhibition.
Jake + Dinos Chapman
This catalogue documents an exhibition in Prague by English duo Jake and Dinos Chapman (born 1966 and 1962) and serves as a retrospective of the brothers' controversial oeuvre.
Introspastic
In his third novel, Jake Chapman returns to the parochial world of Chlamydia Love, the contagiously popular heroine from his first issue The Marriage of Reason & Squalor. Charged by The Someday Times to establish the truth about the rumoured rift between the Chapman brothers, she ventures deep into the hollow heart of the Cotswolds to interrogate the taller one, inadvertently revealing less than she intended. Illustrated with works from his solo exhibition, the book explores the value and meaning of art, laying bare the inner turmoil that ensues when an artist is required to work all by himself... Jake Chapmans latest novel has it all: love, loss, introspective nihilism plus breakdancing squirrels. Any reader seeking true insight into the fraternal bond at the heart of the Chapmans misunderstood work will find this book a massively insincere obstacle.
