Re-visions...Revisited

In 1975, while driving my car in Manhattan, I was in a car accident which left me unconscious and internally bleeding. My entire life
flashed before me. When I awoke in the hospital, I began to think about all of the events which led to my being there and began to
collect ideas in preparation for doing a thoughtful, ironic and humorous book about my life, Re-visions. - Marcia Resnick

“In its subtle and subversive way, Re-visions becomes in
its 47 combinations of words and images, an un- romanti-
cized feminist take on womanhood.” Larry Lytle

As the curator Anne Wilkes Tucker writes, “Resnick’s
adolescent protagonist...has given way to an understand
ing of good and evil...she displays increasingly little
ambivalence about the appeal of being a good girl.
Her crimes are minor but they have consequences....
She’s ambitious, but in a teenage way, such as wanting
to be a starlet. Adults can’t be trusted…and nighttime is
when the imagination is given free rein.”

Re-visions was first published in 1978 by the Coach
House Press, Toronto.
The new publication of Re-visions is by Editions Patrick
Frey in Zurich, Switzerland, distributed by D.A.P.
