Now the earth was a formless void

We shall not tamely submit to the unpredictable whims of the unlearned and the unlettered.

It's an underdog. Arguably the second most important bone of the facial skeleton. But its place in folklore has been annexed by luminous contemporaries such as Mandible and, less dramatically, Maxilla.
Now, a web page that restores Vomer to its rightful place on the dais of public acclaim. Let this be a refuge for organs, cell types and diseases that have been subjugated, ill-defined, overlooked or misconstrued.

Also expect edicts on:
Anatomical pathology
Cricket
Sub-Antarctic islands and other Destinations Of Interest
Old-time radio
Swedish films of blinding cinematic purity
R.E.M.
Scrabble
Clocks without hands


From the reviewers...
"A massive crystalline prism text that refracts the central concerns of a forty-year oeuvre" - Ford

"Yet there is no body of work of its calibre and integrity since Le Rayon vert" - Truffaut, protesting at my two decades of critical obscurity prior to The Vomer.

"
A fitting coda to his idiosyncratic aesthetic trajectories, played out amid clean modernist designs" - Tarkovsky
