Writers

Informationen zum Autor Antoine Volodine (born 1950) is the pseudonym of a French writer. One of his other pseudonyms is Manuela Draeger. Klappentext "Originally published in French as Ecrivains by Seuil, Paris, 2010." Zusammenfassung Here we have the anatomy of the contemporary writer, as imagined by the pseudonymous, "post-exotic" Antoine Volodine. His writers aren't the familiar, bitter, alcoholic kind, however; nor are they great, romantic, tortured geniuses; and least of all are they media darlings and socialites. No, in Volodine's universe, the writer is pitted in a pathetic struggle against silence and sickness--that is, when she's not about to be murdered by random lunatics or fellow inmates. Consisting of seven loosely interlocking stories, "Writers" is a window onto a chaotic reality where expressing oneself brings along with it repercussions both absurd and frighteningly familiar.
