Should have posted this 6 weeks ago \u2014 but somehow forgot. Still, any re-edition\/translation of Pierre Guyotat’s work is worth mentioning… and reading! He is for me without a doubt THE major experimental writer in France in his generation. If you haven’t read him,\u00a0here’s good way in.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\"Pierre<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First published in France in 1970, immediately greeted by both furore and acclaim, today\u00a0Eden, Eden, Eden<\/em>\u00a0is recognised as one of the major works of the last century.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
This edition is a much-revised translation of the out of print English version originally published in 1995. It also includes new translations of the original prefaces by Michel\u00a0Leiris, Roland Barthes and Philippe\u00a0Sollers, plus a postface by Paul Buck.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
“Brought forth in an egalitarian way, or almost, beings and things are offered here for nothing more than what they are in the strict reality of their physical presence, animated or not: humans, animals, clothes and other utensils thrown in a m\u00eal\u00e9e in a way close to panic<\/em>, that evokes the myth of eden because it obviously has for stage a world without morals or hierarchy, where desire is the rule and nothing can be declared precious or repugnant.
\nAn implicit poetry that is sometimes replaced by an explicit poetry: those moments when, above the magma only disturbed by the quest for fulfilment led by each protagonist, human words appear, all the more moving for they seem to emerge \u2013 as if by miracle \u2013 from a layer of existence in which all words have been abolished.”<\/span><\/div>\n
from the preface by Michel Leiris<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
“To stretch the powers of one single sentence to the material, divided teeming carried forth through an unrelenting drive. Organic and celestial mechanics, biological, chemical, physical, astronomic. \u201cThe natural science will later subsume the human science as the human science will subsume the natural science: There will be one science\u201d<\/em> (Marx). On the very first page of Eden, Eden, Eden<\/em>, see that inconceivable theatre: flint, thorns, sweat, oil, barley, wheat, brain, flowers, ears of wheat, blood, saliva, excrement… See the golden space of matters and bodies, endlessly transmutable, rhythmic.”<\/span><\/div>\n
from the preface by Philippe Sollers<\/span><\/div>\n
