« ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ is a novel that reads like a long acid trip in which places, epochs, characters and things, both imagined and real, all intermingle and where people wake up just to go and watch the sun rise. The book seems to be constructed of visions. It is pink, orange and purple and shimmering. It contains smoke, mind-blowing geometric forms, dance, sex and rhythm. There are uppercuts and swings. Its chronology is elusive, and you almost need a map to guide you through it. ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ is a novel written by David Evrard that conveys his joyful experience of exhibitions. At the core of the story is a large exhibition, a crazy curator with copper teeth who, incidentally, doesn’t organise anything, and artists who talk, have fun, and who construct spaces and forms ».
