Remember to Remember (Vol. 2 of The Air-Conditioned Nightmare)
Miller, Henry. New Directions, 1961. Softbound. 'The mission of man on earth is to remember,' writes Miller in this sequel to his career-defining work, The Air-Conditioned Nightmare. '. . . To taste everything in eternity as once in time.' Typically lovely NDP publication, with ransom note–inspired title page and cover design by the press's longtime art director Gilda Rosenblum (aka Gilda Rosenblum and Gilda Hannah), featuring an ink drawing by Abraham Rattner, who famously hit the road with Miller in 1940 and did the majority of the driving despite the essayist's conviction that the painter was an inferior driver.
Tight, uncreased spine has the very subtlest of slumps. Clean, unmarked interior. Some lightly bumped corners, light edge-wear, and toning to the pages. 427 pp. New Directions.
