A grandiose homage to the French language and its possibilities. In his new novel, as always brilliantly written, the famous writer X, to whom we already owe many masterpieces, introduces many well-drawn characters in situations whose atmosphere is comprehensible to young and old. This edition of the Style Exercises is part of the Edition Suhrkamp Letterpress, created in collaboration with typographer Erik Spiekermann and SÜPERGRÜP, a group of seven award-winning German designers: Erik Spiekermann, Mirko Borsche, Johannes Erler, Lars Harmsen, Sarah Illenberger, Eike König, and Mario Lombardo. All were published by Suhrkamp Verlag, redesigned, typeset, and printed from digitally exposed plates on an original Heidelberg cylinder using letterpress printing.
