Description
André du Bouchet's poetry and prose offer a unique window into the life and work of one of twentieth-century France's most innovative writers. This collection brings together a selection of his works, translated by Paul Auster and Hoyt Rogers, to introduce his writing to English-language readers for the first time. The anthology showcases du Bouchet's entire trajectory, from lesser-known pieces from the 1950s to major poems from the 1960s, and concluding with works written or rewritten in his later decades. Du Bouchet's notebooks, which he filled during long walks in the countryside, are also represented in this volume. This collection provides a valuable opportunity for readers to discover the work of an under-recognized giant of French literature, and to appreciate the beauty and depth of du Bouchet's writing.
