An archivist in a library in Toronto is about to close his office to get married in a few hours, but his exit is interrupted by Izzy Darlow, a whimsical character who immediately begins to tell the story of his life. The archivist cannot escape this strange, flowing narration and, as if hypnotized, decides to let himself be swept away. Thus begins the story of Izzy, his parents, his siblings, and then Katie, a patient in a psychiatric hospital, singular events that proceed in parallel only to overlap, floating within an architecture of space and memory that records and preserves everything. Memory and oblivion become for Izzy an act of constructing his own life, a factory of existence, and the mind transforms into a time machine that helps make daily experiences more bearable. The events of Izzy's life resurface from time and forgetfulness, creating a gothic world populated by miracles and horrors, by human and transcendent gestures. The amnesia of the title reveals itself as that which often follows dreams, a flickering memory of something deep that obsesses and eludes us, a mystery to be pieced together and transformed into a story.

Book by Cooper, Douglas
This book as first published to accompany a major exhibition curated by the author at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in 1970. Douglas Cooper had himself known well the principal protagonists in the Cubist Movement, owned works by them and written extensively on the subject. The exhibition was mounted when many of the artists, dealers, writers and collectors who created and furthered the development of Cubism were still alive to act as primary documentary sources. It brought together from the collections of Europe and America Cubist paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints to present for the first time a vivid compendium of Cubism as an historic and aesthetic achievement which transformed the visual world of the 20th century. This re-issue of the book not only presents a record of an epoch-making show, but provides an authoritative, informative and lively introduction to all aspects of Cubist art by its foremost historian
This volume presents the life and works of French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901), whose immersion in the colorful and theatrical life of 19th century Paris yielded a trove of exciting, elegant and provocative images of the modern and sometimes decadent life of those times. The author has included introductory texts written by art historians that provide background into the artist, and their analysis is accompanied by sketches, related works by other artists, and black-and-white photographs. This book features 40 full-page, full-color plates with commentaries on the facing page. Toulouse-Lautrec's paintings and prints focused on the theater, dance halls, cafés, and even brothels of late-19th-century Paris. Brimming with emotion and atmosphere, his works were characterized by a distinctive and masterly handling of line. This volume illuminates the unique place Toulouse-Lautrec came to occupy in French art during his short lifetime of 37 years
