Añadir al carritoSoft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Scarce paperback, 124 pages, NOT ex-library. Translated from the French. Gentle age-spotting on the upper outer page edges. Else book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, tightly bound. Price blacked-out on rear cover. -- First published in France to outstanding acclaim, these two novellas transport the reader through two very different and exotic landscapes. 'Banares' is set against the lush backdrop of rural Mauritius, whilst 'In Babylon' takes place in Iraq alive to all the effects of Saddam's regime shortly after the first Gulf War. Both celebrate the co-existence of the ordinary and the extraordinary as well as the beauty to be found on roads that lead nowhere. Out of the simplest of journeys, Barlen Pyamootoo creates unforgettable, immediate tales of remote lives, vividly evoking the twin birthplaces of his parents and reminding us all, with subtle humour and pathos, of the universal need to connect and share a sense of one's place in the world. The results are ambiguous, touching and troubling works by a writer of rare and exceptional talent. -- 'Benares' takes place over one evening, an evening in which the narrator joins his friend Mayi on a trip to Port-Louis. Their mission? To pick up two prostitutes with the money Mayi won playing poker the night before. This journey from and then back to Benares, the small Mauritian village in which they live, becomes symbolic of everything in the lives of these two young men. Very little happens and the travelling is done as much in the mind as it is on the road. -- "Redolent of the canvases of Edward Hopper, the ghostly silhouettes of Beckett or the most pared down writing of Camus or Faulkner." [L'Express, Paris] -- Barlen Pyamootoo was born in Mauritius in 1960. In 1976 he moved to Strasbourg where, after completing his literary degree, he became a part-time teacher. In 1994 he returned to Mauritius where he currently runs a publishing house.
