2017033880London: Corvus. 2017. Signed by the author in the month prior to publication. The British scifi author takes on a future America where droughts hurricanes and floods have created a humanitarian crisis at the border between northern and southern states and the politicians find a way to blame Canada.

200618052111San Francisco / New York: The Arion Press / Grove Press 2006. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Wiley William T. Artist book: Number 68 of 300 elephant folio size 67 pp. signed by William T. Wiley with prospectus and invitation to the publication party. Trade book: octavo size 365 pp. Samuel Beckett 1906-1989 is considered one of the last modernist writers and a key figure in what is known as the "Theatre of the Absurd." Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 1969 most of us are aware of Beckett and "Godot"; however as the prospectus states "his works still cry out for explanations - explanations that Beckett himself adamantly refused to give". For anyone who has been grappling with this explanation this wonderful artist's book will shed new light: it is not the play it is ABOUT the play. Andrew Hoyem designed the artist's book to illuminate the play itself which is why it was published with the trade bi-lingual edition which we also offer here.<br/><br/>This artist's book was published in honor of the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Beckett the Irish avant-garde novelist playwright poet and translator. American artist William T. Wiley uses wordplay and visual puns to carry the reader deeper still into irreverence with fifty colour plates each with five lines of text beneath which offer a synopsis of the play or with stage directions. The artist book should be read with the play itself; it is a book written out of love and admiration by a loyal aficionado of Beckett's plays.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Artist book bound with blue cloth backstrip yellow paper spine label with black lettering yellow paper sides imprinted with images by Wiley fifty prints made from photopolymer plates three for each: the black line and the blue and yellow tints two prints in black only frontispiece and tailpiece; Century Expanded type partially handset Hahnemühle linen paper elephant folio size 15.5" by 10 3/8" 1-4 5-65 66 1 colophon pp. limited edition this number 68 of 300 copies signed by William T.
