Kovitz, Rob. Published by Treyf/Coach House Press, Toronto, 1992. Card covers. Non paginated, includes black and white photograsm graphic and illustrations, notes and appendices. Light shelf wear to card covers, contents are in fine condition without marks, tears or folds.
"If we could suddenly see this arranged order as it will be seen in its full functioning, it is not to be doubted that many of the Civilized would be struck dead by the violence of their ecstasy."
" A disturbing but amusing book about architecture, agriculture, and utopia. About instrumental thinking and rational method versus irony and doubt as anti-method. About copronomy and building design, model farms, country-life, class status in the Chinese countryside, Ultra-Sweet Pignectar, an architect's first sexual experience, Charles Fourier, Marcel Duchamp, paranoia, poisonous fruit, and how things become their opposite.
