Jacques Réda: Being There, Almost: Collection Monographique Rodopi en Littérature Française Contemporaine, cartea 55

Autor Aaron Prevots
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 sep 2016
In Jacques Réda: Being There, Almost, Aaron Prevots studies the work of this major contemporary French writer since the 1950s—poetry, novels, literary essays, short prose, jazz histories. He particularly examines Réda’s explorations of place, including how the ‘world’s energy’ becomes the ideal dancing partner, poetry incarnate in one’s arms.
Réda embodies ‘being there, almost’ because he wanders with great wisdom yet renounces any glory in this metaphorical dance. He aligns us with the outer world’s rhythms and time’s passage. Fleeting waves of perception create a voluptuous, unified whole. In considering the arc of Réda’s works from 1952-2015, Aaron Prevots locates a progression from post-Baudelairean flânerie to commemoration of childhood, classical antiquity, fellow writers, jazz, physics, swing, theology, and trains.

Recenzii

"Prevots offre une vision panoramique de la biographie et de l’oeuvre de Réda, témoignant ainsi d’une connaissance étendue sur le sujet. Il fait aussi bien référence à des souvenirs d’enfance de l’auteur pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale qu’à ses réflexions contemporaines sur la science et le capitalisme. Il examine aussi des textes venant de toutes les époques et de tous les genres. De plus, Prevots démontre une maîtrise approfondie des thèmes, du style et des réflexions de l’écrivain dans les nombreuses lectures rapprochées qu’il entreprend."- Aurélie Van de Wiele, French Review, 91.4.
