Paperback. An intimate memoir of growing up inside legendary Parisian publishing house Les ditions de Minuit.An intimate memoir of growing up inside legendary Parisian publishing house Les ditions de Minuit.I wanted to tell the story of Les ditions de Minuit as I saw them as a child. And also to tell the story of my father, Jer me Lindon, as I saw him and loved him. Are there archives for that? And how to be an archive of the child that I once was?An Archive tells the story of Les ditions de Minuit, the legendary Parisian publisher of Samuel Beckett, Marguerite Duras, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Claude Simon, Monique Wittig, Gilles Deleuze, Pierre Bourdieu, Marie NDiaye, and so many others. It is the tale of its editor, Jer me Lindon, who directed the publishing house from 1948 until his death in 2001. It is also the chronicle of growing up in a family of writers who were, to the eyes of a young child, the temple of literature. Looking back on a childhood immersed in books, Mathieu Lindon draws a portrait of his father, narrating his use of power and his avarice, but also his generosity, his enthusiasm for literature and defense of authors, and his commitment to politics-during the German Occupation, through the Algerian War of Independence, and for the Palestinian cause after the Arab-Israeli War of 1967. Opening the archive of his own memory, Lindon gives a moving, ferocious, and often funny account of a defining period of twentieth-century French intellectual history. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
