Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

To take the wrong door means indeed to go against the order that presided over the plan of the house, over the layout of the rooms, over the beauty and rationality of the whole. But what discoveries are made possible for the visitor The new path permits him to see what no one other than himself could have perceived from that angle. All the more so because I am not sure that one can enter a written work without having forced one's own way in first. - from In Place of a Foreword

Synopsis:

The first anthology to span the oeuvre of the late writer Edmond Jabs, including pieces previously unpublished in English. It is translated from the French and includes an introductory essay. It is as if we had lost nothing, so near does this book of the book seem to the voice and presence of Edmond Jabs. All his rethinking and refeeling of the word and world are here. His massive and knowing melancholy, somehow radiant, is a shared one, as Jabs knew how to share: 'Our book is for tomorrow.' For today too-Mary Ann Caws.
