Scope and Contents Publisher's Weekly: "The conceit behind this playful, charming spoof of a book is as simple and bizarre as a Magritte painting: it is a guide to an imaginary Paris, complete with fake hotel listings, off-the-wall travel advice and restaurant recommendations that aim more at literary than culinary edification. In Gordon's Paris, tourists may stop at the Grand Hotel des Echecs, home to a clientele made up of chess lovers and losers ("echecs" means both "chess" and "failures" in French); dine at the Cafe Dada, where one inserts food into an Automat and is fed foreign coins in return; or take in a film at the Cinema l'Ange des Sables, which shows only movies shot in the desert. "Ici on parle angoisse" ("Anguish spoken here"), Gordon informs us of one hotel. Admirers of Gordon's previous work, which includes the popular grammar handbook The Transitive Vampire and the novel The Red Shoes and Other Tattered Tales, will not be surprised to find her drawing heavily on the work of such...

This book was first published in a limited edition by Editions Bravin Post Lee in 1997. A signed copy of that volume is held by the Sackner Archive. Goldsmith records his conversational life from April 15, 1996 to April 21, 1996 in a stream of consciousness style. The personal aspects of his daily routine, working for an all night, avant garde radio station, creating Web sites, talking with Cheryl Donagan, his wife, attending lectures and art openings, and meeting Marjorie Perloff are all obsessively recorded by the artist /poet. Goldsmith describes how he went to RISD and used to make sculptures of books and then carved language onto the wooden books. Although he felt the sculptures were really beautiful, Goldsmith became much more interested in the language than in the actual form of the book object itself. The Sackner Archive holds one of these early pieces, "Steal This Book." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
