About this Item
[New York], 1992. 359 A4-sheets, numbered 1-339, including 18 inserts, title leaf and colophon. Housed in a green cloth box with lettering in black and red on spine and front board. The box is slightly faded at spine. Very fine. Number 4 of 81 copies, signed by Anastasi on the colophon page. A colour reproduction of Anastasi's manuscript in which he traces influences from Alfred Jarry in the works of Marcel Duchamp and James Joyce, with special focus on Finnegans Wake, a project initiated in 1989 and presented at the Fifteenth James Joyce Conference in Sorbonne in 1994. A selection from the manuscript was published by Aaron Levy and Jean-Michel Rabaté ("William Anastasi's Pataphysical Society: Jarry, Joyce, Duchamp, and Cage", 2005). In the foreword, the authors stress the importance of Anastasi's investigations: "By showing concretely that many passages in Finnegans Wake contain buried allusions to Jarry's characters and vocabulary and personality, Anastasi is not simply annotating Joyce's masterpiece; he provides a new way of reading all avant-garde literature". From the library of Anders Tornberg Gallery in lund, Sweden. This copy was probably handed over to Anders Tornberg in 1992, at the occasion of the retrospective exhibition of Anastasi's works at Anders Tornberg Gallery. Seller Inventory # 43663
