Orpheus in Mayfair
Excerpt from Orpheus in Mayfair: And Other Stories and Sketches About half-past four in the afternoon Margaritis went out to buy himself some respectable evening studs from a large emporium in the neighbourhood. When he returned, singing and whistling On the stairs for joy, he was met by Tina, who to his astonishment was quite pale, and he saw at a glance that something had happened. They've put me Off!

Orpheus
Excerpt from Orpheus: Or Music of the Future The dullest books on literature are the books which begin with a history Of the alphabet. A good history has its uses; however, this book is not a history but a phantasy or, if you like, a philo sophy. For if it be a good phantasy it will be a good philosophy since all philosophy is phantasy, or the imagina tion of love.

Voyages in the Underworld of Orpheus Black
Harry Black is lost between the world of war and the land of myth in this illustrated novel that transports the tale of Orpheus to World War II–era London. Brothers Marcus and Julian Sedgwick team up to pen this haunting tale of another pair of brothers, caught between life and death in World War II. Harry Black, a conscientious objector, artist, and firefighter battling the blazes of German bombing in London in 1944, wakes in the hospital to news that his soldier brother, Ellis, has been killed. In the delirium of his wounded state, Harry’s mind begins to blur the distinctions between the reality of war-torn London, the fiction of his unpublished sci-fi novel, and the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Driven by visions of Ellis still alive and a sense of poetic inevitability, Harry sets off on a search for his brother that will lead him deep into the city’s Underworld. With otherworldly paintings by Alexis Deacon depicting Harry’s surreal descent further into the depths of hell, this eerily beautiful blend of prose, verse, and illustration delves into love, loyalty, and the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood as it builds to a fierce indictment of mechanized warfare.
