TREE OF CODES IN JOHANNESBURG

Author: Jonathan Safran Foer Publisher: Visual Editions () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: As New Binding: Softcover Pages: 285 Dimensions: 21.8 x 13.5 x 2.4 cm +++ by Jonathan Safran Foer +++ With a different die-cut on every page, Tree of Codes explores previously uncharted 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. In order to write Tree of codes, the author took an English language edition of Bruno Schulz's The street of crocodiles and cut into its pages, carving out a new story.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
