Publisher Description

Silvio Berlusconi is an Italian politician, the Prime Minister of Italy, as well as an entrepreneur. This unique handmade book and

graphic e-book documents the inner life of this multifaceted man using a special technique of overprinting images and texts onto existing

sheets of book paper. This layering of visual and textual information creates a singular reading experience that evokes what it must be like

inside the mind of such a complicated and funny man. The text of "Wht is a Berlusconi?" was "written" by a font designed by Chan that rewrites words into short provocative phrases, which makes reading this book that much more complicated and pleasurable.
