Inhaltsangabe
From the renowned classicist and MacArthur Prize winner: a brilliant new collection that explores myth and memory, beauty and loss, all the while playing with--and pushing--the limits of language and form.
Anne Carson continuously dazzles us with her inventiveness and the way her work changes our perspectives. With Float, she surpasses her own bar. In individual chapbooks that can be read in any order, she conjures a mix of voices, time periods, and structures to explore what makes people, memories, and stories "maddeningly attractive" when observed in liminal space. One can begin with Carson puzzling through Proust on a frozen Icelandic plain; in the art-saturated enclaves of downtown New York City; atop Mount Olympus as Zeus ponders his afterlife. There is a three-woman chorus of Gertrude Steins embodying an essay about "falling." And an investigation of monogamy and marriage as Carson anticipates the perfect egg her husband is cooking for breakfast. Exquisite, heartbreaking, disarmingly funny, Float illuminates the uncanny magic that comes with letting go of boundaries. It is Carson's most intellectually electrifying and emotionally engaging book to date.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition in very good condition with a clear plastic slip case in very good condition. Float is as "A collection of twenty-two [22] chapbooks whose order is unfixed and whose topics are various". When we cross referenced the chapbooks in this slip case we counted 21, missing is "Merry Christmas from Hegel". This is a most charming and eccentric collection of chapbooks from a great Canadian scholar and writer. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1770309137751

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Chapbooks housed in clear plastic slipcase, faint rubbing along spine crease of chapbooks else fine. All titles accounted for: 23 are listed on contents page and 23 are present in the set. The publication blurb states there are 22 chapbooks. The likely reason for the discrepancy is because one of the titles listed on contents page is Performance Notes which, while it is presented in chapbook form is strictly informational and not a part of the 'creative' set.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. A fine first printing of an increasingly scarce title and a prime example of ergodic literature. This copy is flawless, still in the publisher shrink with publisher price sticker, opened only to check the printing notation on the first chapbook to confirm first edition status. This book is otherwise unread and untouched. Twenty-two chapbooks of various lengths housed in a stiff acetate slip-case. Satisfaction guaranteed. Additional photos always available on request. Shipped in a fitted, padded box. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1750883366694
