This, of course, becomes a more terrifying and uncomfortable situation to vicariously experience as the story heats up. I could imagine myself in his position, witnessing events as they unfolded. This helped me form a closer bond with Marty Page. As I read Marty Page, I took time-outs myself to watch the noted films, listen to the albums, or gaze at the paintings, before returning to the story. We are also given notes written to him by his captor.Īll these little tidbits come together to form a truly multi-media experience. Sometimes we are given Marty Page‘s reflections on what he’s seen in the film, or a dream he had after listening to some album. His captor will free him for long enough to enjoy a film, musical album, or painting, only to return him to his shackles shortly thereafter. He spends hours in silence, bound, gagged and blindfolded, kept in waiting for the next event. We are given a sort of voyeuristic look at what could be the journal, or death note, of Marty Page as he is used in a variety of different ways as a model for his captor. The book follows a time line which is the structure for the entire story. Marty Page documents a four day period of deviance in the life of this fictional character, Marty Page. Martin Bladh has created a book which finds a different (possibly even more affective) way of bringing the audience as close as possible to the topic. Marty Page takes us deeper into these ideas from a different angle.

Bladh spoke about this dynamic a good bit in his book DES (2013), as illustrated by the serial killer Dennis Nilsen, who would act out his erotic/homicidal fantasies in front of a mirror to create a cognitive separation between himself and his reflection/victim. These roles can also, at times, be played out by a single person. He often focuses particularly on the chemistry between torturer/executioner/abuser and victim.

But he’s also explores these topics in books, stage performances and film.

This has been done through his music as Martin Bladh, IRM, and Skin Area. Martin Bladh has for many years used audio and visual art forms to illustrate his fascination/obssession with death. Please have a listen now, or as you read the book in the coming weeks. Note: I have also, simultaneously, published a mix which was inspired by this book.
