MYTHOLOGY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY is built around 13 impeccable duotones of some of Dutton's most notable montages. This provocative dual language (French & English) satire is sure to challenge every reader's most cherished beliefs. His earlier work, THE COMPENDIUM, has been called one of the most irreverent books of the 70s & surely this new one may coopt this title for the 90s. But don't be mislead, Dutton is never gross nor in bad taste as he devises myths which demolish one shibboleth after another. Over the past 20 years Dutton's humorous & often acerbic images have been reproduced in magazines & books of fine photography worldwide. His photographs are included in many museum as well as private collections. This, of all of Dutton's books, is not only the most innovative but it has also been executed with the sharpest scalpel. It would be a travesty to dub MYTHOLOGY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY a coffee table book, although it is of the size & heft to qualify. It is a significant work that digs into your quick from the moment you open it & it keeps you squirming even after you think you have finished with it.--Damylev Itisop, President, The Actaeon Society.Dutton, Allen A. is the author of 'Mythology for the Twenty-First Century Mythologie Pour Le Vingt-Et-Unieme Siecle' with ISBN 9780962568206 and ISBN 0962568201.
