The Strange Woman & Seven Diamonds Miners is a 684-page erasure of The Strange Woman (by Ben Ames Williams). Williams' strange woman is revealed to readers through the stories of seven men, and each man is given a section of the book. In this revision each becomes a stand-in for one of the seven dwarfs from Snow White. Mining the realm of pulp romance and fairy tale, the text is reconstructed as an epic prose poem, a palimpsest and abstract rendering of line, paragraph and page. On another level, it's an attempt to redefine and/or give voice to the strange woman, the book's silent object and main protagonist.
