Writes Guy Bennet, the publisher:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the major Occitan writers of the latter half of the 20th century, <strong>Bernat Manciet<\/strong> (1923\u20132005) was the author of numerous works of poetry, fiction, drama, and non-fiction, and\u00a0editor (for some thirty years) of the revue \u00d2c. This 1958 poem, a hallucinatory verbal meditation on the death of the American actor, captures the \u201cbrutal, sharp, abrasive, wily, loutish,\u00a0irascible, burning, rash, fighting, aggressive\u201d qualities that Manciet prized in Occitan. It appears here in a bilingual edition with a translation by <strong>Pierre Joris<\/strong> and <strong>Nicole Peyrafitte<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Ode to James Dean<\/b>\u00a0is available individually, or as part of Mindmade Books\u2019\u00a02014\u00a0series, which also includes work by\u00a0Roc\u00edo Carlos, Portia Elan, and Ramon Gomez de la Serna (trans.
