In the closet ... those old books this fall, here is the new literary season. In
head, a first event:
biography of BS Johnson by Jonathan Coe ( Story of a fiery elephant ) in Quidam. Event because it is the culmination of the discovery This English author. The biography comes just after the translation of Unlucky published in November (here) and not-far from it-the novel's most difficult for Johnson. Curiously it is a scary writer, I hope that this biography and the media impact of Coe's work will help Johnson find a wide audience.
Belle came home with two titles Bourgois:
Sarah Hall How to paint a dead man ; Sylvia and Leonard Michaels . Big news for
Chevillard with two books, a new installment in the Autofiction (edited by avenger Tree) and a novel at Midnight: Choir.
In terms of (re) discoveries:
Pfitzer Andrew Crumey the Tree avenger (formerly the Feathered Serpent). Shelley Jackson
The melancholy of anatomy , published by José Corti ed. Christophe
Pradeau, The great savagery, Verdier.
Juan Gabriel Vazquez, Secret History of Costaguana , Seuil.
Finally in my garden grows the novels of Patrick Roegiers ( The night of the world , Seuil) and those of Christian Gailly ( Lily and Braine, Midnight, a tender and funny novel about the presence in the world).
I want to find time to return in little more on at least all those books, because then there are the large machines which will tumble (Bolano and his Third Reich which I expect a lot (in proportion to my inability to read the last text published posthumously), Vila- Matas Dublin, Sorokin and a bomb over a thousand pages at Verdier).
