A Needle in the Haystack is the hidden venue of the 8th Liverpool Biennale, a textual chamber full of fiction, odd stories, poems and philosophical anecdotes. One of the characters, a guy called Eddie "would light a cigarette in the museum if he really liked the show". The book is teeming with gorgeous and lustful apes painted by Abraham Cruzvillegas. Abraham didn't use a broom this time.
