Scope and Contents

Each pair of eyeglasses is unique, an analogy to the ready-mades of Duchamp. The box that contains the book and objects has the appearance of an oversized wooden match box. Bloomberg News published a mostly negative review of Miami's private art collections and Art Basel Miami in general. However, Favre's work was mentioned in a positive light: "To be surprised, you had to venture into the smaller galleries and satellite fairs. Discoveries for me were Christopher Kurtz's wood sculptures, including "First Dark" (2010), an abstract amalgamation of ornament, bird and star; Valerie Favre's inventive, narrative ink drawings and collages exploring themes of performance and dream; and the quirky, mixed-media tree sculptures of Gonzalo Gonzalez." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents In the prelude to his first novel, Johnson states that he wanted to write a novel that would expose its mechanism. He realized that it would be desirable to have interludes between chapters in which "I could stand back, so to speak, from my novel, and talk about it with the reader, or with those parts of myself which might hold different opinions, if necessary; and in which technical questions could be considered, and quotations from other writers included, where relevant, without any question of destroying the reader's suspension of disbelief, since such suspension was not to be attempted."
