Alfred Jarry: A Pataphysical Life / Brotchie, Alastair., 2011

 Item
Identifier: CC-55644-9999244
Scope and Contents The number of copies refers to the soft cover book (supplement) & the slipcase). Both books are heavily illustrated.Dust Jacket: When Alfred Jarry died in 1907 at the age of thirty-four, he was a legendary figure in Paris--but this had more to do with his bohemian lifestyle and scandalous behavior than his literary achievements. A century later, Jarry is firmly established as one of the leading figures of the artistic avant-garde. Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco, Gilles Deleuze, Jean Baudrillard, Philip K.

Identifier: CC-62004-10004447
Scope and Contents Amazon.com: "Alice was always beautiful"”Armenian immigrant beautiful, with thick, curly black hair, olive skin, and big dark eyes," writes Dana Walrath. Alice also has Alzheimer's, and while she can remember all the songs from The Music Man, she can no longer attend to the basics of caring for herself. Alice moves to live with her daughter, Dana, in Vermont, and the story begins.Aliceheimer's is a series of illustrated vignettes, daily glimpses into their world with Alzheimer's. Walrath's time with her mother was marked by humor and clarity: "With a community of help that included pirates, good neighbors, a cast of characters from space-time travel, and my dead father hovering in the branches of the maple trees that surround our Vermont farmhouse, Aliceheimer's let us write our own story daily"”a story that, in turn, helps rewrite the dominant medical narrative of aging."In drawing Alice, Walrath literally enrobes her with cut-up pages from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. She...
