Notes: Made up of 6 bifolia laid loose in a solander case. Each of 5 of the bifolia contains one letter (in English translation) from Gustave Flaubert to Louise Colet and, in lieu of her reply (Colet's side of the correspondence having been destroyed by Flaubert's niece), an appropriate "response" devised by Charles Hobson by selecting passages from the 1984 novel: Flaubert's parrot / by Julian Barnes. Laid into each of these bifolia is an illustrative monotype by Hobson.
Limited ed. of 18 copies, signed by Charles Hobson.
Flaubert's letters are selected from: Letters of Gustave Flaubert, 1830-1857 / translated by Francis Steegmuller. 1980.
