Walerian Borowczyk: Anatomy of the Devil (Short stories, Rotland Press)
A collection of short stories and artwork from Paris-based, Polish-born polymath Walerian Borowcyzk (1923-2006).
Originally published in France in 1992, this printing presents an English language translation of the complete text by Borowczyk's assistant Michael Levy, and a selection of 35 color illustrations that had been created for a 1992 private edition of “L’anatomie du diable” using a process Borowczyk called pulverographie or dustography (which involved the manipulation of images using color photocopying). Also includes an interview with Levy about the author.
Covers designed by the Brothers Quay (!).
Limited printing of 500 copies | Each order receives a special limited edition postcard designed by the Brothers Quay. About 7 x 7 inches, 158 pages, perfect bound. VERY nice.
Note - the book is predominantly stories / text. Photos here lean more on the books visual plates.
