[EAN: 9780807614235], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: New York City, NY: George Braziller, 1997], Jacket, 1st Printing. 165 pages. Published in 1997. The author's valedictory novel. One of Nathalie Sarraute' finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Nathalie Sarraute's "Here" in a felicitous English translation by Barbara Wright, her second translator after the indispensable Maria Jolas. The final "statement" from the founder of the Nouveau Roman (New Novel). It vividly evokes - and comes full circle with - her very first, ground-breaking book, "Tropismes" (1939), the series of indeterminate vignette-sketches that launched her literary career and eventually led to the full-fledged New Novel, of which she, not Alain Robbe-Grillet or Nobel Laureate Claude Simon, was the true (and austere) founder. As such, her body of work will remain an un-completed literary journey, an ambitious and unfinished project. "Here" is the final novel from one of the form's authentic innovators, or as we would say today, disruptors - without, however, the effusive approbation that the term implies in popular culture. "Novels aren't always about people. 'Here' is a story of loaded words and fickle phrases, a manual of the vortex of thought that language precipitates in the brilliant mind of 96-year-old French novelist Nathalie Sarraute. Nicole Meyer says, 'To read Sarraute, it is necessary to position yourself differently', and it's a genuine pleasure to attempt her unusual perspective. Sarraute uses ellipses as a force that moves language and thought, though gently, as the eddies of a stream. For example, she muses over the words 'I want to be a writer' and as with all language, finds that a flood of meaning, betrayal, and possibilities swirls between speaker and listener. You will never again view a phrase as being simply words" (Publishers Weekly). An absolute "must-have" title for Nathalie Sarraute collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER NATHALIE SARRAUTE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0807614238., Books<
