Tripticks Janis Cooke Newman Written in the mid-60s andFirst published in 1972, Ann Quins fourth and final novel was a radical break from the introspective style she had developed in Three and Passages: a declaration of independence from all expectations. Brashly experimental, ribald, and hilarious, Tripticks maps new territories for the novel aspiring to a form of pop art via the drawings of the artist Carol Annand and anticipating the genre busting work of Kathy Acker through collage and gory satire.
