About this Item

The first Visual edition of this novel influenced by abstract impressionist painting, an unbound novel housed in its original box and protected in the publisher's shrink wrap. An innovative novel published in unbound leaves homes in its original clamshell box, intended to be rear in any order. The first Visual edition reissued from the 1963 first edition, still in its protective shrink wrap.A publication ahead of its time, it comprises an interconnected collection of stories following a group of Parisians during the Second World War German occupation. The way the book is thought of challenges both our notions of what a book is and the way we read it, dealing with questions still relevant today, concerning user-centric, non-linear screen driven ways of reading. Pinted with much attention to design, with unnumbered leaves and a digitally-generated art work to the rear of each leaf. Unbound as issued, in the original publisher's clamshell box. Lovely, protected in the unopened, original publisher's shrink wrap. As New.
