Informationen zum Autor The author (or not) of a dozen books, Marcel Bénabou is a professor of ancient history at the University of Paris VII and permanent provisional secretary of Oulipo. David Kornacker is a writer and translator living in New York City. Warren Motte is a professor of French at the University of Colorado. Klappentext "Benabou addresses conflicting impulses between writing and reading! writing and living! following great models and being original. And he has a great deal of gentle self-deprecating fun while doing it. But this isn't just about the wordplay beloved of French modernists. At base it is a lovely book about the love of books and of language and all that goes into making them! be it paper or words".--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. Zusammenfassung Provides both a litany of writers' fears and a dismissal of the alibis offered to excuse them. The author aims to acknowledge that his own difficulty in writing has plenty of company.
