Title
From the Book to the Book - Paperback
by Edmond Jabes (Author), Edmond Jabhs (Author), Edmond Jabs (Author)
The first anthology to span the oeuvre of the late writer Edmond Jabès, including pieces previously unpublished in English. It is translated from the French and includes an introductory essay. "It is as if we had lost nothing, so near does this book of the book seem to the voice and presence of Edmond Jabès. All his rethinking and refeeling of the word and world are here. His massive and knowing melancholy, somehow radiant, is a shared one, as Jabès knew how to share: 'Our book is for tomorrow.' For today too"-Mary Ann Caws.
