Catalogue Note

Number 22 of 119 copies. An innovative visual style by Beard complements Kondoleon's text in which 'a woman, her husband, and her husband's lover ... pursue sex partners at random up and down the Côte d'Azur until they are attacked and consumed by sea dragons'. The sumptuous binding of this volume is not the standard binding for the edition.
