In On the Road and other iconic works, Jack Kerouac created a quintessentially American voice and a revolutionary prose style.…
This remarkable gathering of previously unpublished writings reveals as never before the extraordinary literary journey that led to his phenomenal success—a journey with deep roots in the language and culture of Kerouac’s French Canadian childhood.Edited and published with unprecedented access to the Kerouac archives, The Unknown Kerouac presents two lost novels, The Night Is My Woman and Old Bull in the Bowery, which Kerouac wrote in French during the especially fruitful years of 1951 and 1952. Discovered among his papers in the mid-nineties, they have been translated into English for the first time by Jean-Christophe Cloutier, who incorporates Kerouac’s own partial translations.Also included are two journals from the heart of this same crucial period. In Private Philologies, Riddles, and a Ten-Day Writing Log, Kerouac recounts a brief stay in Denver—where he works on an early version of On the Road, reads dime novels, and even rides in a rodeo—and shows him contemplating writers like Chaucer and Joyce and playing with riddles and etymologies. Journal 1951, begun during a stay in a Bronx VA hospital, charts, in ecstatic, moving, and self-revealing pages, the wave of insights and breakthroughs that led Kerouac to the most singular transformation of American prose style since Hemingway. This landmark volume is rounded out with the memoir Memory Babe, a poignant evocation of childhood play and reverie in a robust immigrant community, in which Kerouac uncannily retrieves and distills the subtlest sense impressions. And finally, in an interview with his longtime friend and fellow Beat John Clellon Holmes and in the late fragment Beat Spotlight Kerouac reflects on his meteoric career and unlooked for celebrity.LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing.

Another masterpiece of remembering from Annie Ernaux, the Man Booker International Prize–shortlisted author of The Years. In A Girl&’s Story,…
Annie Ernaux revisits the season fifty years earlier when she found herself overpowered by another&’s will and desire. In the summer of 1958, eighteen-year-old Ernaux submits her will to a man&’s, and then he moves on, leaving her without a &“master,&” bereft. Now, fifty years later, she realizes she can obliterate the intervening years and return to consider this young woman that she wanted to forget completely. And to discover that here, submerged in shame, humiliation, and betrayal, but also in self-discovery and self-reliance, lies the origin of her writing life.

Necropolis is an unconventional literary memoir by Vladislav Khodasevich, hailed by Vladimir Nabokov as “the greatest Russian poet of our…
time.” In each of the book’s nine chapters, Khodasevich memorializes a significant figure of Russia’s literary Silver Age, and in the process writes an insightful obituary of the era.Written at various times throughout the 1920s and 1930s following the deaths of its subjects, Necropolis is a literary graveyard in which an entire movement, Russian Symbolism, is buried. Recalling figures including Alexander Blok, Sergey Esenin, Fyodor Sologub, and the socialist realist Maxim Gorky, Khodasevich tells the story of how their lives and artworks intertwined, including a notoriously tempestuous love triangle among Nina Petrovskaya, Valery Bryusov, and Andrei Bely. He testifies to the seductive and often devastating power of the Symbolist attempt to turn one’s life into a work of art and, ultimately, how one man was left with the task of memorializing his fellow artists after their deaths. Khodasevich’s portraits deal with revolution, disillusionment, emigration, suicide, the vocation of the poet, and the place of the artist in society. One of the greatest memoirs in Russian literature, Necropolis is a compelling work from an overlooked writer whose gifts for observation and irony show the early twentieth-century Russian literary scene in a new and more intimate light.

Galardonada con el Premio Vittorini, nominada al Premio Strega y una de las grandes revelaciones literarias en Italia de los…
últimos tiempos. Esta novela trata sobre la distancia que separa a los padres de los hijos: unas memorias familiares, una apasionada mirada a la literatura y el retrato de uno de los episodios más violentos de Italia. «La pregunta no es quiénes fueron nuestros padres antes de que naciéramos. La pregunta es: ¿existieron realmente antes de que naciéramos?» Nadia Terranova, TTL El joven corre bajo la lluvia, descalzo, cubierto de una sangre que no es suya. Llamémoslo L.B. y acerquémonos a él a través de los acontecimientos que le condujeron a esa noche. Nos guía la voz de una joven fuerte, solitaria, apasionada por la literatura, y esta novela es el recuerdo y la crónica de cómo se enfrentó a la muerte de su padre, lo que quedó del vínculo con él, y al descubrimiento tardío del caso judicial que le llevó a prisión. ¿Quién era L.B., ese médico de la clase trabajadora que estaba del lado de los perdedores, que siempre intentaba salvar a alguien, que fue condenado por colaboración con banda armada? ¿Por qué nunca quiso hablar del pasado? Testimonios, archivos y carpetas, recuerdos y revelaciones componen el retrato de una persona complicada y contradictoria que vivió una época complicada y contradictoria. Turín es el telón de fondo de la lucha política diaria y de la violencia que destruyó el sueño de un mundo nuevo, dejando un legado de desilusión y ruina. Esta novela, la revelación literaria del año en Italia, es la historia de un hombre, de su entorno y sus afiliaciones, es su vida visitada con amor y pudor por una hija, Marta Barone, para quien el mundo se mide y construye a través de la palabra leída y escrita. La crítica ha dicho...«Ciudad sumergida es una investigación personal, llena de amor por los libros y la lectura, que, con un lenguaje a momentos evoca al pasado mimetizándose con los tiempos que relata, recuerda a la "secreta dulzura" de Manuel Vilas en Ordesa.»Vanity Fair «Un debut brillante. Barone entremezcla diestramente el relato de actos judiciales inhumanos con los recuerdos de su juventud y sus pasiones literarias, para luego transformarse en una periodista tenaz que describe los años de terrorismo.»Enrico Deaglio, Il Venerdì di Repubblica «Lo que podría haber sido una novela de reconstrucción precisa, pero corriente, gracias a la espléndida escritura de la autora, te lleva a lugares mucho más interesantes, donde se presenta al padre con sus iniciales, LB, como si su breve historia estuviera guardada en un inmenso y hermoso libro sobre literatura.»La Stampa «Barone entreteje magistralmente fechas, reconstrucciones, documentos y recuerdos de aquellos que le contaron sobre su historia y la historia de su "complicado" padre.»Marta Stella, Sette «Este libro trata de la distancia que separa a los padres de los hijos. Trata de porqué es importante conocer a nuestros padres, para que puedan liberarse de nuestras expectativas, de modo que desaparezca cualquier posible deuda.»Simonetta Sciandivasci, Il Foglio

'Being asked to write about Kafka is like being asked to describe the Great Wall of China by someone who's…
standing just next to it. The only honest thing to do is point.' Joshua Cohen, from his preface to He: Shorter Writings of Franz KafkaThis is a Kafka emergency kit, a congregation of the brief, the minor works that are actually major. Joshua Cohen has produced a frame that refuses distinctions between what is a story, a letter, a workplace memo and a diary entry, also including popular favourites like The Bucket Rider, The Penal Colony and The Burrow. Here we see Kafka's preoccupations in writing about animals, messiah variations, food and exercise, each in his signature style.Cohen's selection emphasises the stately structure of utterly coherent logic, within an utterly incoherent illogical world, showing how Kafka harnessed the humblest grammar to metamorphic power until the predominant effect ceases to be the presence of an unreliable narrator, but the absence of the universe's only reliable narrator. Who is God.

LUKE TURNER'A boldly struck chord, one that contains many of the dissonances, but also the harmonies, found in England today' CHRIS POWERIn THE PAPER LANTERN, a single speaker charts and interrogates the shifts in mood and understanding that have defined a surreal, transformative period in both his own history and that of the surrounding area. Set in a shuttered pub - The Paper Lantern - in a village in the very middle of the country adjacent to the Chequers estate, the narrator embarks on a series of walks in the Chiltern Hills, which become the landscape for evocations of a past scarred with trauma and a present lacking compass. From local raves in secret valleys and the history of landmarks such as Halton House, to the fallout of the lockdown period, climate change and capitalism, THE PAPER LANTERN creates a tangible, lived-in, complicated rendering of a place.

The diary of one of France’s most important, award-winning writers during the year she had a passionate and secret love…
affair with a Russian diplomat. Getting Lost is the diary Annie Ernaux kept during the year and a half she had a secret love affair with a younger, married man, a Russian diplomat. Her novel, Simple Passion, was based on this affair, but here her writing is immediate, unfiltered. In these diaries it is 1989 and Annie is divorced with two grown sons, living outside of Paris and nearing fifty. Her lover escapes the city to see her there and Ernaux seems to survive only in expectation of these encounters, saying “his desire for me is the only thing I can be sure of.” She cannot write, she trudges distractedly through her various other commitments in the world, she awaits his next call; she lives only to feel desire and for the next rendezvous. When he is gone and the desire has faded, she feels that she is a step closer to death. Lauded for her spare prose, Ernaux here removes all artifice, her writing pared down to its most naked and vulnerable. Getting Lost is as strong a book as any that she has written, a haunting, desperate view of strong and successful woman who seduces a man only to lose herself in love and desire.

An inventive literary account of Cixous’s remarkable journey to her mother’s birthplaceWinner, French Voices Award for Excellence in Publication and…
TranslationFor about eighty years, the Jonas family of Osnabrück were part of a small but vibrant Jewish community in this mid-size city of Lower Saxony. After the war, Osnabrück counted not a single Jew. Most had been deported and murdered in the camps, others emigrated if they could and if they managed to overcome their own inertia. It is this inertia and failure to escape that Hélène Cixous seeks to account for in Osnabrück Station to Jerusalem.Vicious anti-Semitism hounded all of Osnabrück’s Jews long before the Nazis’ rise to power in 1933. So why did people wait to leave when the threat was so patent, so in-their-face? Drawn from the stories told to Cixous by her mother, Ève, and grandmother, Rosalie (Rosi), this literary work reimagines fragments of Ève’s and Rosi’s stories, including the death of Ève’s uncle, Onkel André. Piecing together the story of Andreas Jonas from what she was told and from what she envisages, Cixous recounts the tragedy of the one she calls the King Lear of Osnabrück, who followed his daughter to Jerusalem only to be sent away by her and to return to Osnabrück in time to be deported to a death camp.Cixous wanders the streets of the city she had heard about all her life in her mother’s and grandmother’s stories, digs into its archives, meets city officials, all the while wondering if she should have come. These hesitations and reflections in the present, often voiced in dialogues staged with her own son or daughter, are woven with scenes from her childhood in Algeria and the half-remembered, half-invented stories of the Jonas family, making Osnabrück Station to Jerusalem one of the author’s most intensely engaging books.This work received the French Voices Award for excellence in publication and translation. French Voices is a program created and funded by the French Embassy in the United States and FACE (French American Cultural Exchange).

A poignant memoir of growing up inside Boston&’s criminal underworld—and breaking free.Nicole Treska was born to a family of gangsters.…
In the 1970s, during Boston&’s mob wars, her grandfather&’s diner was an unofficial headquarters for Whitey Bulger and other members of the Winter Hill Gang. Nicole&’s father was also an associate of the gang: there was talk that, before Nicole could walk, her stroller was used as a decoy to sell drugs. In 1985, her father too was arrested and tried—sentenced to two years in prison for federal drug trafficking. Wanting to offer a better life to her children, Nicole&’s mother moved her and her sister out of Boston. As an adult, Nicole strove to separate herself from her past, establishing a career as a writer and professor in New York City. But when she learns her father&’s sister has passed away, she returns to her hometown and reunites with her dad—now stooped and struggling to walk on a bad knee. As she gets reacquainted with him and the old neighborhood, Nicole is forced to reconcile with her harrowing childhood and its lingering impact. With gritty and gripping prose, Wonderland masterfully explores and elucidates the line between helping family and hurting ourselves.

Marc Marie while she was undergoing treatment for cancer, and their combined project to document images and memories.Includes 14 color still-life photographs by the authors.A LitHub Most Anticipated Book of 2024&“A must-read for lovers of words, images, and Ernaux herself. So. . . everyone?&”—Jessie Gaynor, LitHub&“Annie Ernaux has long foregrounded physical and emotional sensations as the building blocks of her autobiographical writing. However, it is in The Use of Photography where the connection between the body and subjectivity most powerfully emerges.&”—Lisa Connell in French Forum&“These photos, in which the bodies are absent, and the eroticism is only represented by the abandoned clothes, were a reminder of my possible, permanent absence.&”—Annie ErnauxAnnie Ernaux and Marc Marie met in January 2003 and became lovers almost immediately. A short time later, he accompanied her to the Institut Curie, where she was having surgery for breast cancer. A deep bond formed between Annie and Marc precisely during this time of great uncertainty within Ernaux as to whether she would live or die from the cancer.Early in their affair, Ernaux found herself entranced each morning by the sight of clothes strewn about, chairs out of place, and the remains of their last meal of the evening before still on the table. The two lovers began to take still life photographs, and to write. Their efforts to save the fleeting beauty of these moments were, as Ernaux would describe later in an interview, &“material proof of what had happened there, of love.&”The Use of Photography is a defining work in Ernaux&’s career, leading directly to the book that would come next, her masterpiece, The Years.&“Annie Ernaux&’s work presents a breathtakingly frank, fearless, many-sided account of the female experience during the past century.&”—Liesl Schillinger, Oprah Daily

WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATUREA Frozen Woman charts Ernaux's teenage awakening, and then the parallel progression of…
her desire to be desirable and her ambition to fulfill herself in her chosen profession - with the inevitable conflict between the two. And then she is 30 years old, a teacher married to an executive, mother of two infant sons. She looks after their nice apartment, raises her children. And yet, like millions of other women, she has felt her enthusiasm and curiosity, her strength and her happiness, slowly ebb under the weight of her daily routine. The very condition that everyone around her seems to consider normal and admirable for a woman is killing her. While each of Ernaux's books contain an autobiographical element, A Frozen Woman, one of Ernaux's early works, concentrates the spotlight piercingly on Annie herself. Mixing affection, rage and bitterness, A Frozen Woman shows us Ernaux's developing art when she still relied on traditional narrative, before the shortened form emerged that has since become her trademark.

The instant New York Times bestseller and publishing phenomenon: Marina Keegan&’s posthumous collection of award-winning essays and stories &“sparkles with…
talent, humanity, and youth&” (O, The Oprah Magazine).Marina Keegan’s star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at The New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash. Marina left behind a rich, deeply expansive trove of writing that, like her title essay, captures the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation. Her short story “Cold Pastoral” was published on NewYorker.com. Her essay “Even Artichokes Have Doubts” was excerpted in the Financial Times, and her book was the focus of a Nicholas Kristof column in The New York Times. Millions of her contemporaries have responded to her work on social media. As Marina wrote: “We can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over…We’re so young. We can’t, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it’s all we have.” The Opposite of Loneliness is an unforgettable collection of Marina’s essays and stories that articulates the universal struggle all of us face as we figure out what we aspire to be and how we can harness our talents to impact the world. “How do you mourn the loss of a fiery talent that was barely a tendril before it was snuffed out? Answer: Read this book. A clear-eyed observer of human nature, Keegan could take a clever idea...and make it something beautiful” (People).
