Hardcover Very Good A brilliant twentieth-century adaptation of Oedipus that unfolds in response to the author's conviction that "Even transposing Oedipus into a sequence of 'coincidences' gives us trouble What bothers us is the oracle, an authority that is capable of predicting A predictable plot does not permit coincidence; Oedipus as a fable seems indissolubly linked to the idea of fate Hence the only feasible way for us to snatch Oedipus from fate is the escape from the plot to the characters, to the protagonists of the plot This means that it is no longer the oracle that is important but the person uttering the oracle, the priestess of Apollo, the Pythia Oedipus might for instance, fall victim to a disgruntled Pythia" (The Author) Hardcover in slipcase Light scuffing to slipcase, shadow on spine of case where a sicker once was; volume fine Photogravure plates by Marie Casindas, plates made by Jon Goodman at the Renaissance Press and Wingate Studio (Folio) maroon morocco-backed beige linen, spine lettered in gilt, slipcase No 25 of 650 copies Signed by the author and artist in the colophon, as issued Prospectus laid in.
