Seller's Description:
Good in very good dust jacket. Tight spine has only the very slightest lean. Clean, unmarked interior. There are areas of foxing to the boards, end-sheets, and edges, but book is in lovely shape otherwise. Jacket has only the very gentlest of wear. Jacket photo by Tom Victor. In this takedown of the post-war trend toward dehumanizing modern architecture, Wolfe asks why elites suddenly seemed to come under such mysterious thrall to those who planned their edifices: 'They became diffident and reticent. All at once they are willing to accept that glass of ice water to the face, that bracing slap across the mouth, that reprimand for the fat on one's bourgeois soul, known as modern architecture. ' Features a Bauhaus-by-way-of-the-Memphis-Group jacket design by Kiyoshi Kanai, which integrates nicely with book design by Sheila Wolfe (née Berger), who met the author while they both worked at Esquire, and eventually went on to marry him. The couple later shared another employer: Harper's Magazine, where Sheila worked as art director and Tom as a contributing editor. 143 pp.
