Paper: An Elegy
Author(s): Ian Sansom
What do reading a book, smoking a cigarette, throwing confetti and voting in an election have in common? The answer, of course, is paper. This is a witty, personal and entertaining meditation on the history and meaning of paper during the (passing) era of its universal importance.
2013. First US edition, first printing. A fine, unmarked copy in a fine, unclipped d/w.
Product Information
"With a playfulness that begins with the title, this "elegy" to paper is instead a celebration of its essential, ubiquitous role in society, culture and life itself....[PAPER is] An enjoyable argument that speaks to the paper lover in all of us."--Kirkus Reviews
