Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

[MEMOIRS]. Georges Perec (1936-1982). Translated by David Bellos. "W or The Memory of Childhood [First English Edition]." Boston: David R. Godine, Publisher, Inc., 1988. First English edition. English language. Hardcover in quarter blue cloth over blue paper-covered boards lettered gilt on spine in glossy full-color pictorial dust jacket. Autobiographical novel in two parts and thirty-seven chapters with translator's note and author's note. 8vo. 8 1/2 x 5 3/4 inches. 12 oz. x, 166 pp. Inch-long scratch or tear in back of dust jacket. Slight discoloration to top edge of boards. Smudge and sticker residue on front flyleaf. Text clean. Very Good Plus in Very Good jacket. ISBN: 0879237562. "From the author of 'Life A User?s Manual' comes an equally mind-bending novel: an interpretive vision of the Holocaust and a dystopian world. 'W or The Memory of Childhood' is a narrative that reflects a great writer?s effort to come to terms with his childhood during the Nazi occupation of France. Perec tells two parallel stories. The first is autobiographical, describing his wartime boyhood. The second tale, denser, more disturbing, more horrifying, is the allegorical story of W, a mythical island off Tierra del Fuego governed by the thrall of the Olympic 'ideal,' where losers are tortured and winners held in temporary idolatry. As the reader soon discovers, W is a place where 'it is more important to be lucky than to be deserving,' and 'you have to fight to live. No recourse, no mercy, no salvation, not even any hope that time will sort things out.' Perec?s memory of the Holocaust and vision about its meaning has resulted in an astonishing achievement that stands with the best of his work.".

Shop-Beschreibung

I sell uncommon art catalogs, academic monographs, and prints, as well as rare ephemera such as posters and zines. I ship from Brooklyn, New York. I am an alum of the Rare Book School and the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar, as well as Indiana University and the Ohio State University. I started in the trade at the Wexner Center for the Arts bookstore, and I have previously worked for the Columbus Metropolitan Library, the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Prints and Drawings, and the Indiana University Art Museum's center for Prints, Drawings, and Photographs. More recently, I was the rare book cataloger at Donald Heald Rare Books, for whom I worked the ABAA's New York International Antiquarian Book Fair.
