Michel Leiris' Journal 1922-1989, first edition, one of 90 copies on pur chiffon vellum, ex. de tête, published by Gallimard in 1992 in French, 954 pages, excellent condition.
Description from the seller
Original edition of Michel Leiris's 'Journal,' interesting because it traces the thought movements that Leiris engaged with throughout his career: from surrealism to existentialism, including psychoanalysis and ethnology.
One of the 90 numbered copies on Lana pure cotton vellum, the only edition on large paper. (n 50)
Paperback volume, cover printed in red and black. In perfect condition. Untrimmed copy. Frontispiece drawing by Leiris, four leaves of photographic documents. Ex libris label glued to the first endpaper (Clairphen).
Neither memories, nor chronicles, nor confessions, this 'journal' is made up of daily notes that shed light from various angles and at different stages of development on a work that was intended to be almost entirely autobiographical. It also subtly reflects the thought processes the author adhered to...
