 Item
Identifier: CC-32077-33612
Scope and Contents

This book consists of 72 essays or partial essays of established writers, poets and philosphers. Also included are five texts relating to perspectives of Pettibon by contemporary writers and critics. Pettibon's drawings that are dispersed throughout the texts, are described as "disjunctive, and all inclusive...His initial style relied on the carefully acquired tricks and conventions of cartoon illustration...Pettibon's genius rests on the mysterious alchemy of image and text that his drawings effect. His is a poetry that defies verbal of visual categories, but relies on effacing th boundaries of each." Walter Benjamin contributed an essay, "Unpacking My Library; A Talk about Book Collecting." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents

Tom Phillips illustrated this new edition of "Waiting for Godot," including a reproduction of his 1985 lithograph portrait of Samuel Beckett. Phillips writes in the Illustrator's Note that he made "from its almost total absence of visual clues the illustrations for the Folio Society edition...that spring from two conversations, one with Samuel Beckett, the other with the Folio Society' production director." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
