Description
Fiction. Translated by Christina Tudor-Sideri. The late Mihail Sebastian's brief 1932 book available in English for the first time."One November evening (in circumstances that would take too long to narrate here) I found in Paris, on the Mirabeau Bridge, a notebook with black, glossy, oilcloth covers, like the ones in which grocers used to keep accounts. There were exactly 126 pages—commercial paper—filled with small writing, streamlined, without erasures. A curious reading, tiring in places, obscure passages, notations that appeared foreign to me, in fact even absolutely contrasting."—Mihail Sebastian
Author Bio
Mihail Sebastian (1907-1945), born Losif Mendel Hechter, was a Romanian playwright, essayist, journalist and novelist. His novels The Accident and For Two Thousand Years have previously been translated into English, along with his Journal 1935-1944: The Fascist Years, which Philip Roth wrote "deserves to be on the same shelf as Anne Frank's Diary and find as huge a readership."
