Composition No. 1 by Marc Saporta Translated from the French by Richard Howard New York: Simon Schuster, (1963). First English language edition. Loose sheets housed in a clamshell cardboard box of black and orange with titles to front. Sheets are fine; in a fine box designed by Janet Halverson. A vintage copy of an unusual, experimental book by French writer Marc Saporta (1923-2009). Consists of 150 loose pages that the reader is encouraged to arrange and read in any way they choose. Each page has a self-contained narrative. What makes this even more interesting is that this actually works. As Saporta himself explained, "the time and order of events control a man's life more than the nature of these events." Very scarce, especially in this superior condition. 150 loose pages, (4-7/8" by 7-3/4") each. FREE SHIPPING to USA on this item. PLEASE VIEW OUR STORE FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS!
