The typewriter is a manual Olympia, more than 25 years old, and has been the agent of transmission for the novels, stories, collaborations, and other writings Auster has produced since the 1970s, a body of work that stands as one of the most varied, creative, and critically acclaimed in recent American letters.

This catalogue prints interviews with Tim Rollins (an art teacher) and KOS of the background behind the subject which began with the reading of a book on Grunewald in Rollins collection in 1982 by Carlos Rivera, a 12 year student with learning disability, who was asked to reproduce his favorite painting in the book.

The latter included Schongauer, Brueghel, Bosch, Callot, Redon, Ensor, and Ernst.

The catalogue includes several reproductions including an etchings from "The Temptation of Saint Antony" series, a work held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Amazon.com: combination of poetry, prose, and graphic art from a Czech Surrealist who once painted the surface of a frozen lake. The twelve full-color pictures that form the book's central motif are from a 1976 Danish calendar and executed by froissage, a particular method invented by Novak of interpreting the lines formed by crumpling TC. The text to the art was written overnight in the spirit of automatism, and, again sixteen years later.
