Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: new. Paperback. An audacious, unabashedly transgressive memoir about two acts of escape by the author: rebelling aginst his family to seek a freer life in Paris and then, later, from the French military during the Algerian War.Pierre Guyotat was one of the most radical and uncompromising writers of the twentieth century, a literary successor to Sade, Bataille, and Genet whose visceral fictions and bold experiments with language have earned him cult status in France and abroad. Idiocy is his searing memoir of coming of age between 1958 and 1962, when he discovered his burgeoning sexuality and aptitude for rebellionfirst against his father, whom he escaped to become a writer in Paris, then against the French military authorities as a conscript in the Algerian War.Guyotat recounts the atrocities he witnessed first-hand in Algeria, as well as his own harrowing experience of being arrested for inciting desertion and imprisoned in a hole in the ground for three months. Guyotat wields his language like a scalpel, merciless in his exploration of human brutality in all its horrible, granular detail. Yet his generous depictions of camaraderie and friendship are just as unflinching.The winner of the 2018 Prix Medicis, Idiocy is an incisive condemnation of violence and colonialism, and a bracing, hallucinatory late masterpiece from a writer hailed by Edmund White as "one of the few geniuses of our day."

Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A poetic exploration of trauma and renewal from the last avant-garde visionary of the twentieth century.Long ago, in childhood, when Summer reverberates and feels and throbs all over, it begins to circumscribe my body along with my self, and my body gives it shape in turn- the "joy" of living, of experiencing, of already foreseeing dismembers it, this entire body explodes, neurons rush toward what attracts them, zones of sensation break off almost in blocks that come to rest at the four corners of the landscape, at the four corners of Creation.-from ComaThe novelist and playwright Pierre Guyotat has been called the last great avant-garde visionary of the twentieth century, and the near-cult status of his work-because of its extreme linguistic innovation and its provocative violence-has made him one of the most influential of French writers today. He has been hailed as the true literary heir to Lautreamont and Arthur Rimbaud, and his "inhuman" works have been mentioned in the same breath as those by Georges Bataille and Antonin Artaud.Winner of the 2006 prix Decembre, Coma is the deeply moving, vivid portrayal of the artistic and spiritual crisis that wracked Guyotat in the 1980s when he reached the physical limits of his search for a new language, entered a mental clinic, and fell into a coma brought on by self-imposed starvation. A poetic, cruelly lucid account, Coma links Guyotat's illness and loss of subjectivity to a broader concern for the slow, progressive regeneration of humanity. Written in what the author himself has called a "normalized writing," this book visits a lifetime of moments that have in common the force of amazement, brilliance, and a flash of life. Grounded in experiences from the author's childhood and his family's role in the French Resistance, Coma is a tale of initiation that provides an invaluable key to interpreting Guyotat's work, past and future. A poetic exploration of trauma and renewal from the last avant-garde visionary of the twentieth century.

Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: new. Paperback. An autobiographical incantation of adolescent shame, religious masturbation, and the salvation embodied in the creative act.I believe that destiny is the hesitation between whorehouse writing and poetry, Evil and Good. In my body almost deadened to stupidity by its growing length, I am carrying that destiny.-from In the DeepA hypnotic account of three days and nights plucked from the summer of 1955, In the Deep maps the origins, development, and meaning of Pierre Guyotat's creative vocation. To read it is to inhabit the life of an adolescent boy who is just discovering his calling to write, while also tormented by the questions left unanswered by his Catholic upbringing. Faced with his faith's failure, he feels the need to invent another one-one much darker and conflicted-which he believes will be his destiny. In the Deep leads us through the foundations of Guyotat's infamous "beat-sheet"- the masturbatory writing practice that caused a scandal in the 1970s when he first disclosed it, and which-although he has since disowned it-remains fundamental to any understanding of Guyotat's oeuvre.Unlike Guyotat's other works, which deploy the sustained and taxing invention of an altogether other language-and another reality beyond any notion of morality--In the Deep is written in an almost classical language, borrowing its timeless rhythmic prose from Latin syntax, and riddled with interrogatives that are part of a French tradition harking back to Rabelais. Nonetheless, as a contemporary De Rerum Natura, at once comic and profound, this narrative explores the same issues that run through all of Guyotat's writing- the always precarious grounding to sex, humanity, ethics, and God. An autobiographical incantation of adolescent shame, religious masturbation, and the salvation embodied in the creative act.
