1991243886Santa Fe NM: Gerald Peters Gallery 1991. Unpaginated preliminaries 15p. illustrated with seventeen fullpage color exhibit photos very clear including cover images all show Isaac's assemblages these reminiscent of Joseph Cornell's boxes. The Marquez intro runs about 175 words in Spanish with translation to English on following page. The essayists contribute 2 or 3 pages each. Slight edgewear to covers a clean sound very good copy. We infer from the laudatory Marquez piece that he and our sculptress/production designer are friends. The gallery notes let alone their cover text do not announce Marquez' presence in this catalogue --a selling point one would think-- so perhaps it was a last-minute score when layout was already complete.

Octavo pp. 1-5 6-7 8-9 10 11-13 14-455 456: printer's imprint title page printed in red and black original decorated red cloth front and spine panels stamped in black and gold. First edition. Short fiction and sketches by a Russian Jewish writer first published in Russia between 1875 and 1900. "The Dead Town" is a macabre story about a town inhabited by the walking dead -- the horror keeps its edge even after the symbolism is accounted for. In "Bontzye Shweig" a poor uncomplaining man dies and goes to heaven where he is welcomed admiringly surprising the man and in the end the reader who may sense a whiff of the cabalistic in what might have been dismissed as a whitewashing account of a nebbish who should have done some more complaining. But the judge of the heavenly court tells him "You yourself knew nothing of your hidden power. In the other world your silence was not understood but that is the world of delusion; in the world of truth you will receive your reward." The reward he asks for is a hot roll with butter every day for breakfast. Other stories retell legends from the Talmud and other sources. The material is sometimes a little diffuse from a literary point of view. Includes helpful footnotes and glossary for the non-Jewish reader. Small neat 1907 gift inscription at top edge of title page. Cloth lightly worn at spine ends spine sunned else a very good copy. #116779 The Jewish Publication Society of America unknown books
