What are the chances of finding a publisher for a study of a book almost unknown and inaccessible, for the time being, to the general reading public? MAY 6-Let's hear, on the threshold of my possible ...study or mere commentary (who knows, on the other hand, where someone who's getting involved in this type of project is headed?), let's hear, half revealing and half enigmatic, the novelist's voice: I've begun the book that was slowly taking form within me. Interestingly, this ad repeats what the Roman theorist Bruno Molisani says in a study of a Hugo poem ("Written upon the Glass of a Flemish Window").\n Going deliberately against the most widespread and respected dogma of modern fiction, which looks askance at the plot, she structured The Queen of the Prisons of Greece around an uninterrupted chain of events centering on Maria de França, a moneyless mulatto heroine lost in the stairways, corridors and halls of the social welfare bureaucracy, where she struggles to obtain a certain benefit.

Letture anticanoniche biofiction, dentro e fuori la metafinzione, aims at offering multiple interpretations to biofictions. For the critical analysis of these pieces, identified so far with a ...'symptomatic' examination of various fictional texts on a given historical period or person, some possible non-canonical directions have been proposed: a 'horizontal' method, which brings biofiction into the 'fictional galaxy’ of a writing subject (as in the case of Michèle Roberts), and then a ‘vertical’ method, which explores a model-biofiction to deconstruct and then reconstruct the intertwining of the synchronic and diachronic voices of its singular modus operandi. The final part of the volume is dedicated to Mab's Daughters by Judith Chernaik, an extremely interesting case of biofiction 'with possible worlds'.

This new work by Gerald Murnane is a fictionalised autobiography told in thirty sections, each of which begins with the memory of a book that has left an image on the writer's mind. The titles aren't ...given but the reader follows the clues, recalling in the process a parade of authors, the great, the popular, and the now-forgotten. The images themselves, with their scenes of marital discord, violence and madness, or their illuminated landscapes that point to the consolations of a world beyond fiction, give new intensity to Murnane's habitual concern with the anxieties and aspirations of the writing life, in the absence of religious belief. A History of Books is accompanied by three shorter pieces of fiction which play on these themes, featuring the writer at different ages, as a young boy, a teacher, and an old recluse.

A must-read for fans of rollicking picaresque tales such as.
