Title from cover.
Artist's statement. "My book's title, A list of something in Herman Melville's 'Pierre: or, The Ambiguities' in turn reflects on this self-reflexive actuality and on the ambivalence that is one of the many complex, and prescient themes in Melville's novel. The content is the title's manifestation, the inventory of the occurrence of the word, as established in a concordance to Pierre in which the full line of the incidence of every word is given - something appears 89 times. Forming a consistent compilation and yet a serendipitously and conversely (maybe) disordered narrative.
