'A Trilogy Transcendent' is a kind of loose trilogy of philosophical novels originally written in 1980 and sharing a common transcendental theme which has particular though not exclusive reference to modern art and its examination and appreciation from a pro-avantgarde standpoint (the author's own) that is often in opposition to apparently philistine or conservative reaction from a variety of conventional quarters whose penchant for 'the concrete', doubtless motivated by commercial considerations not unconnected with a classic view of art, tends to exclude abstraction. The cover shows one of the author's abstract paintings that has a triadic association appropriate, one feels, to the structure of this immense literary project which is not devoid, despite its philosophical pretensions, of romantic or erotic overtones.
