Was Here / McVarish, Emily., 2001

 Item
Identifier: CC-36707-38523
Scope and Contents

The text, using a great variety of typefaces, is presented in a fashion similar to "Un Coup de Des" by Stephane Mallarme but with addition of illustrations. The images feature a European trade show with industrial products, participants in crowds or individuals and an unknown European city. The protagonist is an anonymous, silhouetted man whose image is repeated throughout the book. The text is mysterious and poetic and the reader can only surmise "the soft edge and the faded generality." Emily McVarish wrote, designed and printed the book in San Francisco. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
