This book takes the form of an illustrated journal. The material is essentially arranged in chronological order and Sottsass’s writing is supported by illustrations of his design work. There are very few photographs of the finished work; most of the illustrations are concept sketches and drawings. Many of the drawings are printed in color.Sottsass focuses on a few different topics. He discusses his travels; his views on materialism, especially American materialism, which he does not like at all; his illness after returning from India; his aging; the Vietnam War; the vapidity of consumer culture; and his material choices concerning his work; as well as other topics. He writes about these topics in a way that is often poetic.The translation is very well done. Basically everything is translated into English, except his handwritten notes that are part of the drawings. At least one of the essays is only in English; it appears to originally have been written in English. Everything else is printed in Italian, and then English.
