Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "DOUBLE OR NOTHING is a concrete novel--concrete, as in concrete poetry: the words are used as physical materials on the page. Federman gives each of these pages a shape or structure. Most often these are arranged for visual effect, presenting a diagram or picture. Sometimes the structure is grammatical; other pages adopt the appearance of ledgers or charts. The words move, cluster, jostle, and collide in a tour de force full of puns, parodies, and imitations. [] Within these startling and playful structures Federman develops two characters and two narratives. The first deals with the narrator and his effort to make the book itself; the second, the story the narrator intends to tell, presents a young man's arrival in America. [] All this carries into the book an enormous range of detail, a discovery of America by way of its madly transfixing particulars--noodles, toilet paper, toothpaste, a first subway ride, a sock full of dollars, the shrapnel of the supermarket's explosion of language into shelf-collages of product names, advertisements, and lists of ingredients. These details, combined with Federman's feel for the desperation of his characters, create a book that is simultaneously hilarious and frightening. The concrete play of the language, its use of found materials, give the viewer/reader a sense of constant and strange discovery. [] DOUBLE OR NOTHING challenges the way we are used to reading fiction and the way we are used to seeing words, and, in the process, gives us back more of our own world and our real dilemmas than we are used to getting." [jacket copy] "A most rare accomplishment: a true experimental novel. As a casual conundrum of intellectual delight or as a serious statement about the nature and implications of fiction, Federman's book is a signal achievement."--Earl Rovit, Contemporary Literature.
