Double or Nothing, 1971

 Item
Identifier: CC-11500-11716
Scope and Contents This novel is printed as a facsimile of the typewritten manuscript with its experimental layouts. From the Publisher: "Double or Nothing" is a concrete novel in which the words become physical materials on the page. Federman gives each of these pages a shape or structure, most often a diagram or picture. The words move, cluster, jostle, and collide in a tour de force full of puns, parodies, and imitations. Within these startling and playful structures Federman develops two characters and two narratives. These stories are simultaneous and not chronological. The first deals with the narrator and his effort to make the book itself; the second, the story the narrator intends to tell, presents a young man's arrival in America. The narrator obsesses over making his narrative to the point of not making it. All of his choices for the story are made and remade. He tallies his accounts and checks his provisions. His questioning and indecision force the reader into another radical sense of...

Earthship / Ian Hamilton Finlay; Alistair Cant., 1965

 Item
Identifier: CC-12477-12704
Scope and Contents

Nineteen cards printed with text at their bottom edge were bent into a curved shape and stapled together. This poem object can be positioned in different configurations to create the image of a ship that in Finlay's vision might be adapted for travel on land. The text includes such words as "fin, bow, number, sail, etc." as locations for the various aids to make this "Earthship." The cardboard box has a few waterstains but the poem object is undamaged. According to Paul Robertson (catalogue: he patted), only 25 of these poem objects might have been actually made with the printed box. 3 -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
