From Booklist
Although best known as a highly regarded children's book illustrator, Drescher squarely aims this elegantly designed artist's book at adults, and sophisticated adults at that. He offers a loose interpretation of the Hindu myth of creation, bracketing it with a vague narrative about a traveler setting off on the "ocean of bliss" and throwing in a passage depicting a "perpetual emotion machine." All that seems just an excuse to allow Drescher to display his unruly imagination and masterly graphic skills. Incorporating a vast array of techniques, from pen-and-ink and watercolor to photocollage, typography, and even die-cut cover and interior pages, Drescher dazzles with his craft and creativity. Chaotic and intense, the brief volume packs a visceral wallop before ending on a placid, nautical note. Those who have long appreciated the idiosyncratic approach of Drescher's books for kids should take a look at this challenging work for an older audience. Gordon Flagg
