Oblong octavo. 45pp. A follow-up to Thomas's "Agent Orange," which he published a decade earlier, Finding Parkinson's provides a personal and scientific reckoning with the titular disease. Thomas was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2015, ironically and darkly just after the issuance of the above-mentioned book. The effects of the herbicide have lain dormant in Thomas, who was exposed to it while deployed in Vietnam, and here in image and text he confronts his growing awareness of his condition. Digitally manipulated photographs show with psychedelic vivacity the confluences and ruptures of a brain pathologized against itself. Along with Thomas's recollections are essays by Dan Monroe, former Director of the Peabody Essex Museum, and Dr. David Rose, from the Harvard School of Education. Printed on Rives BFK and custom mulberry paper from Vietnam. Sheets held loose in lacquered box likewise made in Vietnam. Small abrasions to box communicate and corroborate the project's concern with deterioration and decay. Near fine. Housed in protective silk bag.
