La fin de l'exil

Editions de l'Olivier, 1998. Paperback. Pp: 512. Nous sommes à Manhattan, dans les années 20. Ira Stigman, un jeune homme originaire du Jewish Harlem, tombe follement amoureux d'Edith, professeur de littérature. Edith est une lettrée, une muse, une séductrice. Elle est la maîtresse d'un des ses élèves - Larry Gordon, le meilleur ami d'Ira -, tout en ayant une " love affair " avec un autre homme. Ce qui ne l'empêche pas d'avoir une liaison avec Ira qui, de son côté, n'a pas renoncé à ses amours incestueuses. Ce déchaînement passionnel, dans lequel la trahison semble mener le jeu, se déroule dans le New York intellectuel et littéraire de l'époque, avec ses polémiques - autour de l'Ulysse de Joyce -, ses modes, ses discussions jusqu'au petit jour. Mais c'est surtout le regard de l'écrivain sur cette " jeunesse folle " qui donne à l'Å“uvre, désormais classique, comme un parfum d'immortalité. Car c'est au cours de ces années décisives que se nouent les figures sexuelles et littéraires de l' " esclavage " que Roth mettra une vie à défaire. La Fin de l'exil est le troisième tome de A la merci d'un courant violent. ISBN: 9782879291079. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Mercy of a Rude Stream

St. Martin's Press, 1994. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 290. In 1934, Call It Sleep was published, a first novel by a promising twenty-eight-year-old writer by the name of Henry Roth. It was a brilliantly lyrical work that would later be regarded as one of the greatest American novels of this century. But in that dark Depression year, few had money for literature, and the book faded into oblivion, not to be fully roused from its hibernation until 1964, when Call It Sleep was hailed, in the words of Irving Howe, as "one of the few genuinely distinguished novels written by a twentieth-century American." Although the book proceeded to sell millions of copies, both in the United States and around the world, Henry Roth, then a waterfowl farmer in Maine, remained silent, called by some a literary recluse, a man with no second novel in the offing.Sixty years after Call It Sleep's first appearance, the publication of Mercy of a Rude Stream is a celebratory event in the world of literature, the remarkable reappearance of a literary genius whose language we presumed had been lost, whose urban "world of rooftops and flying kites, of journeys to the marvelous turning bridges over the Harlem River" and "the lofty El curving in a charcoal sweep" we thought we would never glimpse again.In this first installment of Mercy of a Rude Stream, called "A Star Shines Over Mt. Morris Park," the first of six volumes Roth has already finished, we follow the adventures of a boy named Ira Stigman, and his extended Jewish immigrant family, from the outbreak of World War I through the beginning of the 1920s. With Ira's maternal grandparents, Zaida and Baba Farb, and their nine children, Roth has created an intricate and moving family saga, with Ira always at its center, a young boy tossed on the torrential currents of rude streams issued forth from the uncertainties of early twentieth-century New York City. Alienated from the Jewish Lower East Side of his early childhood by distance and distrust, Ira finds himself alone in "goyish" Harlem, frequently battling other children, his father, and the violence of sexuality. His mother, Leah, trapped and crippled by her own isolation, tries as best she can to shield her sensitive son from the wrath of a rageful, frequently unemployed husband as well as the deceit of the outside world.As the novel progresses, we follow Ira from a seemingly naive boy of eight to a street-smart, precocious young man of fourteen, burdened not only by the onset of adolescence, but also by the cruelties of public school, poverty, and the pain of life in an alien neighborhood. While the narrative concerns itself primarily with the psychological maturation of Ira, Roth paints Ira's story against the backdrop of America in the teens and early 1920s, and he deals masterfully with such larger themes as Prohibition, anti-Semitism, racism, and cultural deracination, particularly in the final part of the work, set in the basement of the gourmet grocery store Park & Tilford, where the narration echoes both Dante and Joyce.Told in two voices, the first being the traditional narrator, the second that of the old "Ira" conversing with his computer, Ecclesias, about "the fragments of his past," and searching for the writer's voice that had eluded him for nearly a half century, Mercy of a Rude Stream is that rare work of fiction that creates, through its style and narration, a new form of art. Indeed, the two juxtaposed voices, the one of the "little boys swimming in a sea of glory," the other of one of those same boys "in old age being rudely swept to sea," create the counterpoint, jarring yet oddly harmonious, that makes this work so original. As Henry Roth ponders his unsought role as one of the great American writers of the twentieth century, his words take on a profoundly deep resonance, for his is indeed the last voice of a generation that we thought was long gone.

Noem het slaap

Prometheus, Uitgeverij, 2015. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 463. Noem het slaap, oorspronkelijk uitgegeven in 1934, is een klassieker die generatie na generatie opnieuw wordt ontdekt. Deze grootse joods-Amerikaanse bildungsroman beschrijft de jeugd van immigrant David Schearl, die met zijn ouders per stoomboot in New York arriveert om een nieuw leven te beginnen. In een stijl die doet denken aan James Joyce en I.B.

As early as 1896, a group of Greenwich Village artists, poets and other artistic and literary personalities were meeting weekly at Maria Del Prato's Italian restaurant on MacDougal Street. The group, which became known as The Pleaides Club, included Paul Du Chaillu, Mark Twain, Stephen Crane, William Garrison, Clara Louise Kellogg and other luminaries among its early members. As it grew and needed larger quarters, the group first moved to the Black Cat then to the Hungaria, eventually settling in at the Hotel Brevoort in 1906. The club's mission was simply to provide a convivial and friendly audience to inexperienced artists through its weekly meetings and publication of their work in its yearbook, The Pleiad. Good .
