Much like their art, Gilbert \u0026amp; George's writing is irreverent, rebellious, fantastical, often funny, and deeply poetic. The book includes a letter to their readers and original photographs by the artists of themselves, their famous home in Spitalfields in East London, and their pictures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDark Shadow\u003c\/em\u003e is structured into eight chapters, which elaborate on the inspirations behind Gilbert \u0026amp; George's work, such as London life and British culture, including, of course, Gordon's Gin.
