Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boris Vian is a rare phenomenon. Nothing short of a national treasure in France, he is hardly known overseas. In his lifetime, he divided literary opinion with masterpieces that failed to sell and best sellers that caused outrage, trials and even deaths, including his own. As an impresario, he became the figurehead of the jazz scene that marked the French left bank at the end of the Second World War and was responsible for bringing Duke Ellington and Miles Davis to France. As a musician, he played his trumpet against the advice of cardiologists, sang pacifist songs before audiences of outraged patriots and, in passing, created French rock ‘n’ roll. Posthumously, he became known for his theatre, film scripts and poetry as well as for his novels. And in May ’68 he became a revolutionary icon.

Book excerpt: Fiction. "In the tradition of Karl May and Franz Kafka, Boris Vian imagines an American even more amazing that the land he has never visited. "I Spit on Your Graves" is the first novel to put the quotation marks around the "hardboiled" thriller -- a vivid and startling performance" (J. Hoberman). The book is Boris Vian's (1920-1959) sex-and-violence-filled homage to American noir. Originally published in France as J'rai Cracher Sur Vos Tombes -- after allegedly being censored in the U.S. and "translated" into French -- the novel was no best seller, establishing Vian as one of the most famous writers of the mid-twentieth century.

Book excerpt: *Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award* *Shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award* *Shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize* *Shortlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize 2018* *A Sunday Times Book of the Year* Xiaolu Guo meets her parents for the first time when she is almost seven. They are strangers to her. When she is born in 1973, her parents hand her over to a childless peasant couple in the mountains. Aged two, and suffering from malnutrition on a diet of yam leaves, they leave Xiaolu with her illiterate grandparents in a fishing village on the East China Sea. Once Upon a Time in the East takes Xiaolu from a run-down shack to film school in a rapidly changing Beijing, navigating the everyday peculiarity of modern China: censorship, underground art, Western boyfriends. In 2002 she leaves Beijing on a scholarship to study in Britain. Now, after a decade in Europe, her tale of East to West resonates with the insight that can only come from someone who is both an outsider and at home. 'This generation's Wild Swans' Daily Telegraph

Book excerpt: Fiction. Translated from the French by Brian Harper. "FOAM OF THE DAZE is a novel like no other, a sexy, innocent, smart and sweet cartoon of a world which then begins, little by little, to bleed real blood until, in the end, the blood turns out to be our own. I read it nearly thirty years ago in its previous incarnation as Mood Indigo and I loved it then; it's still one of my favorite books in the whole world"--Jim Krusoe. "A kind of jazzy, cheerful, sexy, sci-fi mid-20th century Huysmans. Check it out. There is just no place like France"--Richard Hell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A clear and straightforward discussion of the ways in which literatures and their comparative study must depend upon the problematics of interpersonal and other relations. . . . This study will prove as useful as it is wide-ranging, and indeed, comparative in the good sense."--Mary Ann Caws, Graduate School, City University of New York "Here is a comparatist working at the peak of his powers. . . . Weinstein moves easily from Goethe and Flaubert to Kafka or Joyce or Boris Vian. Locating fictions of relationship `at the heart of both literary criticism and human affairs' and acknowledging his own `distinctly humanistic' concerns, Weinstein writes in an urgent tone and eloquent voice, inflecting the theme of `relationship' in every way: in its surrender to the erotic, its frenzied drive for control of the Other, in its ability to confer identity or eclipse difference. . . . When he couples texts (e.g., William Burrough's Naked Lunch and C. de Laclos's Les liaisons dangereuses), he takes risks that bear brilliant fruit. Exploring famous texts and relatively unknown ones, Weinstein infuses the traditional study of fiction with new energy."--Choice Originally published in 1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage fournit une analyse approfondie de L'Écume des jours de Boris Vian avec toutes les clés pour analyse l'œuvre. L'Écume des jours est un roman onirique qui ne cesse de fasciner et qui fait désormais partie des classiques de la littérature française ! Chef d'œuvre incontournable de Boris Vian, L'Écume des jours plonge le lecteur dans un univers onirique qui, au fil des pages, s'assombrit et vire au cauchemar. Alors que Chloé vient tout juste de sortir de l'église au bras de Colin, un nénuphar se développe sur ses poumons, une maladie qui se révélera incurable et qui engloutira peu à peu le monde coloré imaginé par l'auteur. Après une courte présentation de l'auteur et du roman analysé, Tina Van Roeyen nous raconte les vies de Boris Vian, car, avec lui, c'est bien le pluriel qui s'impose tant les chemins qu'il a empruntés sont divers et variés. L'Écume des jours est ensuite résumée, puis mise en contexte. Car si l'univers dans lequel nous sommes plongés dès les premières lignes du roman nous paraît étrange, il n'en reste pas moins une réponse donnée par l'auteur au contexte de l'après-guerre dans lequel l'être humain semble avoir perdu ses repères. Vient ensuite une étude des personnages dans laquelle nous découvrons qu'ils sont interchangeables tant ils se ressemblent. Ce sont enfin les thématiques principales qui sont étudiées. Toutes peuvent être classées dans deux grandes catégories : le Bien et le Mal, car ce sont bien ces deux conceptions qui s'opposent dans le roman. Enfin, pour terminer, l'auteure s'intéresse encore au style de l'auteur et à ses innombrables jeux de mot, ainsi qu'à la réception de cette œuvre qui est aujourd'hui devenue un grand classique de la littérature française. Découvrez une présentation et une analyse complète des éléments clés du célèbre roman de Boris Vian, suivies d'un résumé, d'une mise en contexte et du récit de la vie, ou des vies, de l'auteur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of our most important contemporary Chinese authors: a novel of language and love that tells one young Chinese woman's story of her journey to the West—and her attempts to understand the language, and the man, she adores. Zhuang—or “Z,” to tongue-tied foreigners—has come to London to study English, but finds herself adrift, trapped in a cycle of cultural gaffes and grammatical mishaps. Then she meets an Englishman who changes everything, leading her into a world of self-discovery. She soon realizes that, in the West, “love” does not always mean the same as in China, and that you can learn all the words in the English language and still not understand your lover. And as the novel progresses with steadily improving grammar and vocabulary, Z's evolving voice makes her quest for comprehension all the more poignant. With sparkling wit, Xiaolu Guo has created an utterly original novel about identity and the cultural divide.

Book excerpt: A fascinating hybrid of noir action, cheap science fiction, and hard sex in a dream land called Los Angeles. Boris Vian had never been to Los Angeles, but that didn't stop him from writing the most bizarre sexual sci-fi novel ever set there. To Hell With the Ugly is one of the first novels to take on the issue of cloning, for the sole purpose of beauty- the elimination of all ugly people, to be replaced by beautiful clones. A new English translation of the 1948 French masterpiece!
