Paperback. Condition: Good. In defense of the poetic, Pascal Quignard pens an impassioned reply to von Hofmannsthal?s despondent Lord Chandos In 1902, Hugo von Hofmannsthal?s Lord Chandos Letter articulated a deep crisis of faith in language. Having ?lost completely the ability to think or speak of anything coherently,? the titular character abandons literature in favor of silence. In The Answer to Lord Chandos, a text that was meticulously crafted over 41 years, Pascal Quignard passionately challenges this withdrawal and urges us not to forsake the power of poetry. His exhortation meditates on Emily Brontë, Handel, Rembrandt and more to demonstrate how literature rejuvenates our connection to the universe. In an introduction to this first English edition, French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy illuminates the core question animating this debate, which has resonated within literature since its inception: can poetry give access to the real? Quignard?s resounding answer offers a testament to the immense value of literary expression. Pascal Quignard (born 1948) is the author of A Terrace in Rome and more than 60 fiction and nonfiction titles. He has won both the Prix Goncourt, France?s top literary prize, and the Formentor Prize for Letters.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Essays reflecting on the science of imaginary solutions, from an influential figure in pataphysical thought Pataphysics: the science of imaginary solutions, of laws governing exceptions and of the laws describing the universe supplementary to this one. Alfred Jarry?s posthumous novel, Exploits and Opinions of Dr. Faustroll, Pataphysician, first appeared in 1911, and over the next 100 years, his pataphysical supersession of metaphysics would influence everyone from Marcel Duchamp and Boris Vian to Umberto Eco and Jean Baudrillard. In 1948 in Paris, a group of writers and thinkers would found the College of ?Pataphysics, still going strong today. The iconoclastic René Daumal was the first to elaborate upon Jarry?s unique and humorous philosophy. Though Daumal is better known for his unfinished novel Mount Analogue and his refusal to be adopted by the Surrealist movement, this newly translated volume of writings offers a glimpse of often overlooked Daumal: Daumal the pataphysician. Pataphysical Essays collects Daumal?s overtly pataphysical writings from 1929 to 1941, from his landmark exposition on pataphysics and laughter to his late essay, ?The Pataphysics of Ghosts.? Daumal?s ?Treatise on Patagrams? offers the reader everything from a recipe for the disintegration of a photographer to instructions on how to drill a fount of knowledge in a public urinal. This volume also includes Daumal?s column for the Nouvelle Revue Française, ?Pataphysics This Month.? Reading like a deranged encyclopedia, ?Pataphysics This Month? describes a new mythology for the field of science, and amply demonstrates that the twentieth century had been a distinctly pataphysical era.…
