Jonathan Lethem's issue was entitled “The Chaldron Optical System”. It directly related to his novel “Chronic City” and consisted of a pair of glasses with text on each of the arms, a glasses case, and a care and maintenance manual written in both English and French. Jonathan's issue was the result of a collaboration with designer Matt Singer and Selima Salaun of Selima Optique. This was their first collaborative endeavor under the banner of Project Selima and Matt.
