Lucy Lippard
I See / You Mean
Los Angeles, USA: New Documents, 2021
224 pp., 13.75 x 21.5 cm., hardcover
Edition size unknown
Originally published in 1979 (see below) by Chrysalis Books, Lippard's experimental novel is about mirrors, maps, relationships, the ocean, elusive success and possible happiness. Through a collage of verbal photographs, overheard dialogue, sexual encounters, found material and self-identification devices (astrology, the I Ching, palmistry, Tarot), it chars from past to future the changing currents between two women and two man: a model/stockbroker/maybe dictator, a photographer, and an actor.
A new edition by New Documents is available for pre-order now, at the sale price of $24 US (from $30). Edited by Jeff Khonsary, the title is supplemented by a new afterword by Susana Torre. It ships in April of 2021.
