What it’s about. ‘The Cardinal and the Corpse' marks the beginning of Petit’s loose partnership with writer Iain Sinclair. There’s a nod towards narrative here involving a book-search launched by graphic novelist Alan Moore and a dealer (the dapper but barking Driffield), but it’s little more than an excuse to showcase a number of authors and other miscreants.
Who’s in it. The Cardinal and the Corpse stars Alan Moore, Alexander Baron, Robin Cook and Drif Field, among others.
