19914451New York: Vincent FitzGerald & Company 1991. One of 25 copies text on Apta Royale Laid Richard de Bas paper made in 1938 images on Musee paper backed on custom-made papers by Paul Wong on Dieu Donne' Papermill. Page size: 16 inches x 16 inches. Bound by Zahra Partovi in Coptic-style mauve-grey silk over boards box by David Bourbeau Thistle Bindery fine. Six original line etchings by Susan Weil are hand-painted in watercolor and gouache with gold-leafing throughout each mounted on museum board. These images surround the 40-page text when sitting in the box and when lifted out become three-dimensional paintings. There are also two original collages in the text and on the boards of the cover which is printed in three colors. The calligraphy is by Jerry Kelly and the letterpress is by Dan Keleher at Wild Carrot Letterpress. Susan Weil's third Joyce book takes an excerpt from FINNEGAN'S WAKE and it is as much as tour de force as her previous two. The box itself is a piece of sculpture and Susan's paintings are fully realized free-standing works of art; yet all combine to form a harmonious whole book. Vincent FitzGerald & Company unknown books
1992WRCLIT81038Princeton 1992. 11 pages 16mo 12mo octavo and quarto. Very good or better. Oates writes to novelist Kit Reed responding to her request in her capacity organizing a fund-raiser for the National Book Critics Circle - a sale of signed items or manuscripts from member writers - "Though knowing myself no favorite of the NCBB not one mention for any title over the years! I'd be happy if just a little embarrassed to help with your project." She follows up: "After I wrote to you I realized that my mss. are supposed to go to my 'archive' at Syracuse University. But I am sure these messy embarrassing work-sheets would not be missed. If you can use them fine. If not - - not." She explains that she uses scrap paper in this case "someone else's photocopied mss. that came to the house for perhaps a blurb . The more I consider this the less I want to send it or anything off. The wastebasket seems the kindest receptacle! Warm regards Joyce." In August Oates supplied a signed explanatory adhesive note to accompany the work sheets" "These are work sheets for BLACK WATER 1992. Joyce Carol Oates. 15 Aug. 1992 scrap paper on reverse; not my ms and I don't know whose." The worksheets are non- contiguous have only a handful of manuscript notes and include one substantial revised passage half a page loosely taped over the original text. unknown books
