A Roll of the Dice

Stephane Mallarme

Previously only available in hardcover, and after a long period of being unavailable, one of Wave's most popular titles, A Roll of the Dice by Stephane Mallarme, is now available in paperback.

Through brilliant collaboration, Robert Bononno and book designer Jeff Clark translated one of Mallarme's most well-known and visually complex poems into contemporary English language and design. This bilingual softcover edition not only includes Mallarme's original preface, but also matches the typography of the last round of proofs that Mallarme was correcting at the time of his death. Clark's presentation is both visually stunning and typographically radical, mirroring the dark mystery of Mallarme's poem. With a keen understanding of poetics, Bononno's translation offers myriad interpretations, while capturing the visionary spirit of the original. Together, Clark and Bononno have created a singular version of A Roll of the Dice that is markedly unique in its attention to the ways layout, design, typeface, and language all contribute to the meaning making of this masterpiece.
