Viggo: Indie Publisher

It seems that Viggo Mortenson’s true love and calling may be publishing. In 2002, “The Lord of the Rings” start capitalized on his notoriety to begin Perceval Press. In addition to publishing some of his own works, Mortenson brings new voices to the market in true independent fashion, according to the New York Times. “Perceval’s specialty items — science adventures (“Land of the Lost Mammoths” by Mike Davis); portrait collections (“On the Way Home,” Anne Fishbein’s photographs from Yaroslavl, a port city northeast of Moscow); odd juxtapositions (“Supernatural,” fusing doll photographs by Lindsay Brice with a Flannery O’Connor short story) — arise out of quirky, unpredictable circumstances.”
