Description:
London: Ulysses, 1994. Hardcover. Fine. Edition limited to 236 copies, of which this is no. 112. Unpaginated. 27 cm. B&w frontispiece and decorations by Beck. Pale yellow paper-covered boards patterned in green with dark green morocco spine lettered in gilt. Wrapped in mylar (removed for photo). A pragmatic young British widow, proprietor of a cork-processing factory, embarks on an affair with her husband's former office manager, although her lover will meet only once a year. Punctuating the story are excerpts from a monograph on the peculiar traits of cork trees, injecting a seemingly dry scientific treatise into a tale of passion. As it turns out, the rare characters of cork''lightness, impermeability, elasticity''and the love affair have much in common.
