[New York: New York Institute for the Humanities], 2003. First Edition. Softcover. Fine. 176 pp., profusely illustrated (mostly in color). Original color pictorial wrappers. Minor shelfwear, else fine.
Prototype, printed for private distribution, of Lawrence Weschler and company's prospective journal of writing and visual culture, lamentably never published beyond this issue. With contributions by Ricky Jay, Jamaica Kinkaid, Oliver Sacks, Anne Hollander, Errol Morris, and thirty more writers, artists, editors, and designers, all working for the protoype issue as a labor of love. Weschler begins his introduction to the volume with a note on its first working title: "'Pillow of Air' perfectly describes the reigning aesthetic of the enterprise... in that it invokes those moments of hushed astonishment or absorption when a pillow of air seems to lodge itself in your mouth and you suddenly notice that you haven't taken a breath in a good half minute. The sort of experience where you get lost to yourself and given over to the marvel of all creation (indeed, to everything but yourself)."
