 Item
Identifier: CC-29494-30859
Scope and Contents

More than an album of photographs, more than an iconographic summation, this book is a new-style critical essay of the life of a writer, his works and his genius. It is like a film of an intellectual adventure showing the many faces of the writer, his gestures, memories of words and places, long friendships, and pages of his novels, scenes of his film making. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
