Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
"Wrapped in hilarious self-ironizing waffle, [Benabou's book] is a serious, largely autobiographical account ... of how difficult it is to write a book... Unfailingly amusing."-Times Literary Supplement "Benabou addresses conflicting impulses between writing and reading, writing and living, following great models and being original. And he has a great deal of gentle self-deprecating fun while doing it. But this isn't just about the wordplay beloved of French modernists. At base it is a lovely book about the love of books and of language and all that goes into making them, be it paper or words."--Publishers Weekly "As this deft translation in Nebraska's excellent French Modernist Library series confirms, Benabou can cartwheel with the best of them. Why I Have Not Written Any of My Books makes mischief with treasured literary cliches and will amuse and provoke the scoundrel in every writer's soul."--Philadelphia Inquirer "This is the 'madness of art.'"--Review of Contemporary Fiction "A mercurially playful paradox of confessional literature, authorial awakening, and creative endeavor."--Kirkus Reviewsmehr
