Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This is the first English translation of French writer, Pierre Guyotat's legendary novel, which was recently included in "Le Monde"'s "100 Greatest Novels of the 20th Century." A violent collision of brutal warfare and sexual ecstasy, Guyotat is said to have hallucinated the subject matter as a young soldier during the Algerian war, where the novel is set. <P>Pierre Guyotat was born in France in 1940. His most recent book is "Progenitors" (Gallimard, 2000). Synopsis:Pierre Guyotat is a legendary figure in France; this is the first English translation of his bestselling novel making it available - finally - to English speaking audiences. About the AuthorPierre Guyotat was born in 1940 in a remote mountainous region of south-western France. He spent much of the 1960s in North Africa, as a soldier in the colonial war between France and Algeria, and then travelling in a camper van. This, his most celebrated novel, was written in his mid-twenties and became an immediate best-seller in France where it has often been called the greatest modern French novel. His next novel 'Eden Eden Eden' (1970) caused a huge scandal and was censored. He spent 9 years writing his most recent book 'Progenitors' What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
