Publisher: Boston : Exact Change , 1995ISBN: 9781878972149.Subject(s): Edebiyat -- Yazarlık -- Teknik -- Fransa | Literature -- Authorship -- Technique -- FranceDDC classification: 848 ROU General note: Raymond Roussel (1877–1933), next-door neighbor of Marcel Proust, can be described without exaggeration as the most eccentric writer of the 20th century. His unearthly style based on elaborate linguistic riddles and puns fascinated the Surrealists and famously influenced the composition of Marcel Duchamp's “Large Glass,” but also affected writers as diverse as Gide, Robbe-Grillet and Foucault (author of a book-length study of Roussel). The title essay of this collection is the key to Roussel’s method, and it is accompanied by selections from all his major works of fiction, drama and poetry, translated by his New York School admirers John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch and Harry Mathews, and the painter and author Trevor Winkfield. Ashbery writes that Roussel’s work is “like the perfectly preserved temple of a cult which has disappeared without a trace … we can still admire its inhuman beauty, and be stirred by a language that seems always on the point of revealing its secret.”General note: Locus Solus sergisiyle bağlantılıdır = Related to Locus Solus exhibition| Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
