A curious hybrid book of the painter R.B. Kitaj, with his own art work on alternate pages facing the text. The epigraph from Philip Roth's The Counterlife, "The man had Jew on the brain," will give a sense of what Kitaj is trying to deal with in his life and with his art, in the US, in London, and in Israel. Gabriel Josipovici in his What Ever Happened to Modernism? briefly discusses this in terms of the modernist sense of isolation and exile, which is how I came to it. Although it's an awkward work, I liked it enough that eventually I'd like to take a look at his Second Diasporist Manifesto.
