Book First Edition Signed
First edition 1991. (Text by Susan Sontag first published in The New Yorker, 1986). The book is signed by both Susan Sontag and Howard Hodgkin on the half-title page. Susan Sontag has added the date "Los Angeles May 1991" and the dedication: "For Richard Meier, with admiration - cordially, Susan Sontag." (Richard Meier the American artist and architect). Paperback, gatefold. 4to. 30pp. This book is the result of a unique collaboration. It concerns the responses - doubting, possessive, comic - of a group of New Yorkers when they discover a close friend has Aids. Howard Hodgkin has created a series of hand-coloured engravings to go alongside the text. Susan Sontag is one of America's most respected and influential writers. She has published novels, short stories and several volumes of essays. Howard Hodgkin is an artist of worldwide repute and represented Britain at the 1984 Venice Biennale and won the Turner Prize the following year. Four fold-out illustrations by the artist plus the endpaper designs. Book in near fine condition. Some very slight edge wear only. Book.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. First edition. An association copy, inscribed in purple ink on the half-title page: "For Oliver [Sacks]--with deep affection and admiration--Susan."Sacks and Sontag were friends and both wrote with deep sophistication about illness, one as a public intellectual and philosopher, the other as an accomplished physician. This book is a short story that originally appeared inThe New Yorkerwhich describes a group of friends after they discover a close friend has AIDS. A wide octavo or small quarto in wraps with French flaps, illustrated with fold-out color etchings by Howard Hodgkin. Thirty pages exclusive of the etchings. A really handsome production, a fine copy, and an important association. Oliver Sacks was a British neurologist that theNew York Timesdubbed "the poet laureate of contemporary medicine." He spent the bulk of his medical career as a professor of neurology at Yeshiva University's Albert Einstein College of Medicine. There he began to write about some of his neurology patients (he burned the manuscript of his first book,Ward 23, in a fit of anxiety about his new direction). He went on to publish fourteen books from 1970 to 2015, the year he died also of cancer, most of them with a focus on highly researched clinical anecdotes, including such lauded works asThe Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat(the main case study of which is a man with "face blindness," something Sacks also suffered from, and which deeply impacted his social interactions) andThe Island of the Colorblind. .
