Summer House (2000 Winter Book)
In this year’s Winter Book (2000), the titular house, located in Minnesota’s beautiful St. Croix River valley, provides more than a honeymoon cottage for the recently married Bruce and Elaine who have rented it for the first fragile season of their reconciliation. The story is a dramatic meditation on the possibilities of forgiveness and the indelible claims of memory.
Bound in a traditional codex form, The Summer House editions were designed by Michael Lizama under the direction of Mary Jo Pauly; standard editions are signed by the author and include ten illustrative prints executed by book artists/printmakers nationally recognized for their interpretive vision and technical skill. Text in all editions is letterpress printed from monotype Joanna on Mohawk Superfine under the supervision of MCBA Printing Artist-in-Residence Harold Kyle.
The Standard Edition (numbered 1 through 125) includes text and ten accompanying signed prints as above in a two-section (modified ‘French door’ structure) non-adhesive binding, pamphlet stitched into stiff paper cover of Canson Mi-Tientes wrapped with Japanese moriki paper. The whole is encased in a multicolored slipcase measuring 7-1/8″ x 10-1/8″ x 3/4″, all designed and executed by Jill Jevne.
