Synopsis: Eugene Marten's 'In the Blind' takes readers through a keyhole and shows it to be a tunnel, a cave, a way through to a hard-earned light. The speaker in this astonishing novel has been released from the boiler room dark of prison, but he is not free. He must move on at an angle against all that has been subtracted from the world he returns to, and always against the bleak weight of memory. By accident he finds work in a locksmith's shop, and something in the dark inner spaces of the locks speaks to him of a universe of locks, and to the prospect of a concentration that will open the way to breathable air. With the uncanny precision of observation found in Cormac McCarthy's Suttree, and the eerie mystery of Don Delillo's 'The Body Artist', Marten generates a narrative that enthralls; and when released by the book's amazing close, readers will find themselves in the new light cast by this novel, and with a hunger for more of Eugene Marten's fine work.

Another copy available. Essays written over a period of thirty years. *** "For the past 35 years, Henry Geldzahler, controversial first curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Department of Twentieth Century Art, has been at the center of America's lively and vital art scene. Making It New is the first collection of his essays, interviews and talks, and includes work that has never been published. His style is disarmingly intimate, insightful and amusing. In this generous selection of writings Henry Geldzahler is always an enchanting guide to a world of innovative artistic activity. He is master of a particularly informal interview style which allows artists as diverse as Frank Stella, Alice Neel and Louise Bourgeois to reveal fresh insights to their methods and intentions. His essays on photography, on 'The Sixties' and his commencement address remind us of Calvin Tompkins' comment in 'The Scene' that Henry Geldzahler's effect (as teacher) was phenomenal." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Foreword, by David Hockney; An interview with Henry Geldzahler, by Ingrid Sischy; 1960s.

Laforgue, Jules, 1860-1887. Berlin, the city and the court. Translated and with an introduction by William Jay Smith ; photographs by Simone Sassen. New York: Turtle Point Press, 1996, ix, 220pp., small PAPERBACK, cover price $13.95, very good. "Jules Laforgue's Berlin is a delectable book, and William J. Smith's translation conveys all its lucid irony and sparkling detail." (Richard Wilbur). - Jules Laforgue, who has been called the "French Keats" and whose work greatly influenced T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and James Joyce, went to Berlin in 1881 as French reader to the Empress Augusta, a descendent of Catherine the Great. Written shortly before his death from tuberculosis at age 27, Berlin, la cour et la ville was not published until 1922 and is still little known in France. This first complete English translation of an important lost work is a brilliant example of what Jacques Barzun has called the poet's "visual reportage". It presents a precise picture of what everyday life was like in Berlin in the 1880's. Like his friend Seurat, Laforgue shows us what people did, what they wore, what they ate, what they saw and heard. He paints memorable portraits of the leading court personalities and pays special attention to the Prussian military, the power of which permeated every aspect of life. - William Jay Smith, the translator, was Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress 1968-1970 (a post now called Poet Laureate). In 1991 he was awarded a medal by the French Academy for his translations of French poetry. 9781885983022 ISBN 1885983026.
