Portrait of a Man Known as Il Condottiere
Author: Georges Perec
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022605439X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
The posthumously published first novel from the acclaimed French author of Life: A User’s Manual offers “glimpses of Perec’s future greatness” (The New Yorker). Puckish and playful, Georges Perec infused avant-garde and experimental fiction with a wit and wonder that belied the serious concerns and concepts that underpinned it. A prominent member of the OuLiPo, and an abiding influence on fiction writers today, Perec used formal constraints to dazzling effect in such works as A Void—a murder mystery that contains nary an “e”—and Life: A User’s Manual, in which an apartment building, systematically canvassed, unfolds secrets and, ultimately offers a reflection on creation, destruction, and the devotion to art. Before embarking on these experiments, however, Perec tried his hand at a relatively straightforward novel, Portrait of a Man. His first book, it was rejected by publishers when he submitted it in 1960, after which he filed it away. Decades after Perec’s death, David Bellos discovered the manuscript, and through his translation we have a chance to enjoy it in English for the first time. What fans will find here is a thriller that combines themes that would remain prominent in Perec’s later work, such as art forgery, authenticity, and murder, as well as craftsman Gaspard Winckler, who whose namesakes play major roles in Life: A User’s Manual and W, or The Memory of Childhood. Engaging and entertaining on its own merits, and gaining additional interest when set in the context of Perec’s career, Portrait of a Man is sure to charm the many fans of this postmodern master. “Fascinating.” —The Guardian

Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Do You Know Who You Really Are? presents an understanding of our pre-mortal lives, why we are here on earth, and where we are going after mortality. In ten succinct chapters, Fred Kohler Holbrook tackles matters such as the purpose of mortality, the meaning of the human body, and why we are born into a particular race or ethnicity. It is time for us to know who we really are, our intrinsic selves; and the author actively encourages the pursuit of theological answers to deep questions, calling us to know who we really are, and to make our eternal selves who we want to be.
