"A Humument" is an altered book art project rather than a novel. Tom Phillips took a forgotten Victorian novel called "A Human Document" and started to decorate each page by painting, collage or simply scoring out the words, leaving a few words on each page to form a new story. It seems to be the tale of a man named Toge (whose surname can only appear on pages that originally contained the word together or altogether), and his on-off relationship with a woman called Irma. He also has a friend (or rival?) called Grenville, but it's all rather obscure and elliptical.
"A Humument" is an ongoing project, with each new edition of the book having some pages with new artwork, and the artist's aim is that eventually he will have replaced every page from the first edition.
