No. 122 of 375 copies quarto size 193 pp. signed by John Hejduk with LEC Monthly Letter. German writer Thomas Mann 1875-1955 a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929 is best known for his novels and short stories employing symbolism and examining the psyche of those in intellectual circles most famously in his works "Buddenbooks" and "Death in Venice". He wrote "The Black Swan" in 1954 and the novella revolves around an aging woman who must deal with her changing body and the expectations of an uncaring society that values youth over old age. Noted for being one of the first works to utilise hard medicine in the narrative "The Black Swan" is here published by the Limited Editions Club with lithographs by celebrated architect and artist John Hejduk 1929-2000 who brings an architect's eye for symmetry and simplicity in his geometric imagery.
