Riguardo questo articolo

This book is WILD, the author took another book and cut out most of the words to make their own art piece. Covers and edges show some rubbing, scuffing, surface browning and tearing. Because of all of the cut out bits the book squishes in an odd way. Bar code on back has surface tearing resulting in it being unreadable. The same is true of "Foer" & "Codes" on the front cover.

Riassunto

Tree of Codes is a haunting new story by best-selling American writer, Jonathan Safran Foer. With a different die-cut on every page, Tree of Codes explores previously unchartered literary territory. Initially deemed impossible to make, the book is a first ? as much a sculptural object as it is a work of masterful storytelling. Tree of Codes is the story of an enormous last day of life ? as one character's life is chased to extinction, Foer multi-layers the story with immense, anxious, at times disorientating imagery, crossing both a sense of time and place, making the story of one person’s last day everyone’s story. Inspired to exhume a new story from an existing text, Jonathan Safran Foer has taken his "favorite" book, The Street of Crocodiles by Polish-Jewish writer Bruno Schulz, and used it as a canvas, cutting into and out of the pages, to arrive at an original new story told in Jonathan Safran Foer's own acclaimed voice.
