Title: The Encyclopedia of the Dead
Description: London, Faber and Faber. 1989, First Edition. Hardcover. Book, 8vo. [viii], 199 pp. Black boards and unclipped illustrated dustjacket. Translated by Michael Henry Heim. Excellent first edition of these nine short stories, considered to be Kis's masterpiece. Kis was a Yugoslav novelist, essayist, poet and translator whose work generated storms of controversy in his homeland but today holds classic status. His writing broke with the epic mode, pioneered modernist techniques in his language and fulminated against literary kitsch. His writing was strongly influenced by Joyce and Borges, but nevertheless remains stunningly original. Fine/Fine.
