Description: Title: Tree of Codes Publisher: Visual Editions, 2010 1st edition Binding: paperback In very good condition. Very slight rub to base of front spine and extremely minor signs of shelf wear to fore top and bottom of page block, but otherwise unmarked. Please see photos or ask for more images. Jonathan Safran Foer's favourite book, the Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz, is the basis of his Tree of Codes. Through cutting out sections of Schulz's text he produced a new text whose relationship to the original it is the responsibility and the pleasure of the reader to establish. There is no book quite like it - a book of absences that is nevertheless quite whole and new. It is read by inserting a sheet of paper beneath the page you are reading, vaguely reminiscent of having to cut your pages open with a paper knife in earlier times. And to look within it - a collaboration between the author and Visual Editions - is a strange and perplexing experience.
