First Edition
Trade Paperback. Condition: New. First Edition. New! 124pp. Rabelais's Doughnuts is an original collection of the short writings of Pierre Senges. It brings together seven monologues, essays, fictions, and glosses that have never appeared together before: "Suite', "Last Judgment (detail)", "A Slightly Vain Exercise in Style', "On the Electrophorus and the Tohu-Bohu', "Measure of All Things', "Many Ways to Stuff a Watermelon', "The Counterfeiter'. Topics addressed include: Daniele da Volterra and the Sistine Chapel; the correspondence of Pierre Aretino, addressed to the artist Michelangelo; the affordances of different media for writing/reading through the ages; the relative merits of manifestos versus those of six-hundred-page novels; various writers' libraries, real, apocryphal, and fictional; Kleist's Abendblatter; and slightly vain exercises in style. ~ Publisher.
Condition: Good. Softcover without dust jacket. Ex-Library book with appropriate stamps, stickers and markings. Book tape to spine. Some wear noted to edges and curling noted to corners. Pages clean and bright. Part of the Series: Illustrated Fairy Tales for Adults. This book draws inspiration from the works of Dominique Lestel, a philosopher-ethologist, and Alain Richert, a landscaper-botanist. It takes into account (as it pleases) the nmost recent speculations as far as ethology is concerned and twists the use of ethograms (description of behaviours) in order to find other ways of telling fables.
Trade Paperback. Condition: New. New. 134pp. 'Each of the texts in this work proceed from the fragments and cryptic beginnings found scattered throughout the notebooks Max Brod took possession of after Kafka's death. The results tend to be as variable as they are unexpected: outlines of tales, madcap soliloquies, fairy tale inversions, strange parables, comedic monologues. In some instances a single fragment of Kafka's is reprised multiple times, yielding parallel but divergent texts. Other times, a unique fragment is driven to its logical extreme, or gives way to a dizzying cascade of ab absurdum speculation, and one marvels how the development could have been otherwise. As one might expect, all of Kafka's familiar obsessionsthe night and its terrors, the law, justice and its lack, bureaucracy, animals, et ceteraare here in force. Each passage begins in boldface to indicate the hand of the Prague lawyer, before giving way to Senges's liberties.'Jacob Siefring.

Trade Paperback. Condition: New. New! 'The reader will find here the true aftermath of the adventures of Ahab, self-described captain, survivor of his last fight against a giant fish. We will see how this retiree with a wooden leg tried to sell his whale story to the highest bidder in the form of a Broadway musical, then a Hollywood script. Along the way, we will encounter Cole Porter and his chorus girls, but also Cary Grant, Orson Welles, Joseph von Sternberg and Scott Fitzgerald, drowned in his alcohol, as well as a host of producers, shady to varying degrees. We will remember the passage of young Ahab embarking at seventeen for London in the hope of playing Shakespeare there, and the circumstances which presided over the meeting of the librettist Da Ponte with Herman Melville in 1838. We will learn, ultimately, the best way to make the Manhattan cocktail a success and with what tenacity the indestructible Moby Dick seeks revenge on his nemesis.' ~ Publisher.
