"Figurations is the work of Ted Richer, an American writer and performer of miniature Beckettian monologues and dialogues, each lasting only a minute or two. They twist and turn around a few words or phrases of love, love denied or lost, driving the words deeper and deeper into the mind. These are inner voices made audible but also bearable by ritual and permutation ... They need such obsessive forms because they grow out of a 'burning sense of shame and of humilitation' as Christopher Ricks put it. In pain they make art. And that begins to help." - David Sheldon, The Sunday Telegraph

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
