Marc Saporta's Composition No. 1 consists of 150 opening paragraphs, each printed on a separate page, all of them packed unbound in a box to be assembled by the reader. It's also available now as an iPad app, of course. Tom Phillips's A Humument is an art book made by the artist cutting away and altering an 1892 Victorian book called "A Human Monument" over the course of almost 50 years. It's staggering. Maybe worth, in that context, mentioning the work of Brian Dettmer, as well, though his books are more art and less text. anilEhilated posted:The Life And Opinions Of Tristram Shandy. You could call it prepostmodern. One of my favorite grad courses was titled exactly that, and TS was the centerpiece novel. Although, typography aside, Cervantes pioneered a lot of the tricks Sterne pulls in that book. (Still prefer Shandy because Sterne's humor is far less cruel.)
