Collected French Translations: Prose – John Ashbery (Paperback / Soft Cover)

This book, the companion volume to Collected French Translations: Poetry, presents his version of the classic French fairytale The White Cat by Marie-Catherine dAulnoy, alongside works by innovative masters such as Raymond Roussel and Giorgio de Chirico. Here are Roussels Documents to Serve as an Outline and extracts from his Impressions of Africa; selections from Georges Batailles darkly erotic novella LAbbe C; Antonin Artauds correspondence with Jacques Riviere; Salvador Dali on Willem de Kooning; Jacques Dupin on Alberto Giacometti; and key theoretical texts by Odilon Redon and others. Several of these twenty-eight prose pieces, by seventeen writers, artists, musicians and critics, are previously unpublished or have been long unavailable.
