From the publisher's (October 31, 1990) release: "[.]Parables & Pieces [.] a selection of Franz Kafka's shorter works, newly translated by Michael Feingold and imaginatively interfused with photogravures by noted photographer Judith Turner [.] The twenty-first of Vincent Fitz Gerald & Company's limited editions, many of which are in the collections of major museums here and overseas, Parables & Pieces is bound and covered in a collage of three papers which is itself an original work of art, and encased in a specially designed box covered in Japanese silk. It is certain to prove one of the seminal artists' books of the 1990's. Vincent Fitz Gerald & Co. volumes have recently been featured in two major exhibitions of artists' books: The Boston Atheneum's Artists of the Book, 1988, which displayed eight of the company's previous editions; and the Independent Curators of America's Contemporary Illustrated Books 1967-1988, which selected three Fitz Gerald & Company books for inclusion among the 50 most important such editions in the last quarter-century.". The original (4pp.) release is included with this copy. Weight: 5 lbs. Postage is extra on this item.
