Now the book is called Stories from the Nerve
Bible and what I mean by the Nerve Bible is the
body. And parts of the body appear and disappear
throughout the book, adding up to a kind of
self-portrait although not a very naturalistic
one. And I used the word Bible in the title of
this book because the first really strange stories
I remember hearing were Bible stories. And these
stories were completely amazing: about parting
oceans, and talking snakes. And people really
seemed to believe these stories. And I̢۪m talking
about adults. Adults, who mainly just did the most
mundane things imaginable: mowing their lawns and
throwing potluck parties; they all believed in
these wild stories. And they would sit around and
discuss them in the most matter-of-fact way. So in
a way I was introduced to a special local form of
surrealism at an early age and so there was always
a question in my mind about what̢۪s actually true
and what is just another art form. Now I̢۪ve
always been intere! sted in trying to define what
makes up the late twentieth century American for
example and so, as an artist, I̢۪ve always
thought my main job was to be a spy, to use my
eyes and ears, and find some of the answers. For
example, I like to hang around the banks of phones
in airports, one of my favorite listening posts
and eavesdrop on conversations. Now I usually
travel on the same schedule as salesmen and after
lunch these guys call into the main office and I
just stand there at the phones, listening in and
taking notes for my portrait of the American
salesmen.
— Oh Frank? Listen, Frank. You know, I hate to
say this about Brad. I mean we both know he̢۪s
got a heck of a job. Ya, ya. Oh you̢۪re so right.
But you know, we both know that Brad isn̢۪t
pulling his weight. You know what I mean? And
I̢۪m not saying this just because we̢۪re both up
for the same Safeway account.
So this book is really a collection of voices and
stories as well as portraits of people that I̢۪ve
met along the way.
