 Metronome Press has published four novels in the shape of a new paperback series, three by living visual artists and one reprint from the 1930s, the cult camp diatribe of Charles Henri Ford and Parker Tyler, "The Young and Evil".By stressing anonymity, false names and short extracts of novels that may or may not be published, it underlines the desire to produce works that enable artists and writers to step out of the norm and to test out different ways of representing their ideas.Metronome Press is not conceived as a commercial art press, but both artists and the publisher are involved in the production and distribution of the books.
