Synopsis: Published on the occasion of her exhibition, Capitalism Must Fund Its Own Demise! at the Carl Berg Gallery in L.A., A Hundred Flowers Have Bloomed is an illustrated guide to Erin Cosgrove's infamous romance novel, The Baader Meinhof Affair, published by Printed Matter in 2003.

The reader’s guide illustrates scenes from the novel with drawings and digital collage and provides juicy background information on the book's secret sub-plots in an interview with the author. A Hundred Flowers Have Bloomed also illuminates some of the deep questions contained in the book with the "Questions to Discuss or Ponder" section. For example:

Holden’s father, the General, erroneously traces his ancestry back to "when the Angles met the Saxons." This would be about A.D. 450 to 600. The Anglo-Saxons were sea-faring tribes from Holland and Germany, ancestors of those German "barbarians" who battled for and against Ancient Rome. There is no record of swear words in their language. Isn’t it strange that barbarians didn’t swear?

Complete with an author forward, A Hundred Flowers Have Bloomed is like having a Baader-Meinhof Affair book club lead by the author in you back pocket! Best of all, this collectable reader’s guide gives you a sneak peek at Cosgrove’s upcoming six romance novels.
