Writers

Autor Barry Gifford
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iun 2023
This new edition of Writers includes five new scenes featuring Georges Simenon and Andre Gid©, Flannery O'Connor and William S. Burroughs, Ivan Turgenev, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and Pauline Garcia-Viardot, Joseph Conrad and D.H. Lawrence, and Willa Cather and Gypsy Rose Lee. In prose that is funny, grotesque, and a touch brutal, Gifford shows these writers at their most human, which is to say at their worst: they are liars, frauds, lousy lovers, and drunks. This is a world in which Ernest Hemingway drunkenly sets explosive trip wires outside his home in Cuba, Marcel Proust implores the angel of death as a delirious Arthur Rimbaud lies dying in a hospital bed, and Albert Camus converses with a young prostitute while staring at himself in the mirror of a New York City hotel room. In Gifford's house of mirrors, we are offered a unique perspective on this group of literary greats. We see their obsessions loom large, and none more than a shared needling preoccupation with mortality. And yet these stories, which are meant to be performed as plays, are also tender and thoughtful exercises in empathy. Gifford asks: What does it mean to devote oneself entirely to art? And as an artist, what defines success and failure?
