Published by Violette Editions in 1999, this book marks Sophie Calle’s first significant work in English, garnering international acclaim for its concept, text, and exceptional design. The original edition has been out of print since its release, and the new edition coincides with the 2007 Venice Biennale, a prominent contemporary art exhibition. This edition retains the original content and design, including the signature ribbon, but is presented in a smaller hardback format. The narrative begins with a fictional character named Maria, who first appears in Paul Auster’s novel Leviathan. Maria’s “works” draw inspiration from Calle’s own creations, explored in the book's initial section. The second part features a blend of Calle’s narrative and abstract pieces, illustrated through text and images adapted by Maria in Leviathan. The final section includes dialogue from Auster, focusing on Calle, and presents “Personal Instructions for SC on How to Improve Life in New York City (Because She Asked…),” known as the Gotham Handbook. This unique interplay of fiction and reality highlights Calle's innovative approach to art and literature.
