About This Item
Northridge: Lord John Press, 1983. First edition. Fine. Presentation copy, outside of limited numbered 150 copies and 50 numbered copies specially bound, signed by the author and illustrator on half title. Fine in red marbled boards with black leather backstrip. Trivial scuff near corners, otherwise Fine. Interior with decorative tissue sheet bound before half title and haunting illustrations throughout; bright and clean.
Although acclaimed for her dystopian and science fiction tales, Le Guin turns pen to her local environment in this chapbook. Created with her friend, the artist Henk Pander, the book is a response to Mount St. Helens' 1980 eruption and the physical devastation left behind on the natural landscape. As she described it, in order to get a pass to the crater or "Red Zone" (from which the title is drawn) Le Guin, Pander, and photographer Ron Cronin "pulled a few governmental strings. We announced that we were artists with a selfless desire to record this historical event in pictures and words for posterity...". Fine.
