Outside of time, there have always been the Rebises and their arts. Shola von Reinhold’s The Rebis Book traces the stories, artefacts and aesthetics of a few members of this elusive cohort of in-between beings, illuminating their overlapping worlds of history and embellishment.

Illustrated with paintings by the artist, this book is unlike anything you may have seen before, although it may remind you of the vestige of something that once was.

'The Rebis Book offers shimmery glimpses into a whole other cosmology to live by, where gender is something far more enchanting than you ever thought it could be. Below the boredom of modernity subsists a layer of myth and icon that might take us to other worlds for other lives.’ —McKenzie Wark, author of Love and Money, Sex and Death

'Shola von Reinhold is an alchemist of glamour, purifying baser elements of fiction and historical essay into a grand mythopoeia that shimmers like nacre.' - Morgan M Page

'Shola von Reinhold's The Rebis Book is an inspired and significant contribution to the queer tradition of flaming, cryptic, gorgeous, sui generis cultural treasures. A brilliant and inimitable follow up to Shola's justly-celebrated LOTE.' - Jordy Rosenberg, author of Confessions of the Fox

'Shola von Reinhold has an endlessly dazzling mind, and her prose is unparalleled.' - Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X
