From the Left Bank by Tom Bishop
Reflections on the Modern French Theatre and Novel
Specialists in twentieth century French literature, novel, or theater, would find very informative, meaningful, discussions; novices or seekers of understanding of this period's literature would greatly benefit from reading about their specific artist, or orienting themselves to the literary period and development through Bishop's book.-The European Studies JournalFrom the Left Bank chronicles the intimate, behind-the-scenes encounters of an American Francophile and the stars of the French Avant Garde theater and literary worlds. It reflects the author's extensive, first-hand experience of the modern French theater and with those artists who wrote and staged the work that has revolutionized the way we think of theater. The book contains a distillation of Bishop's best original writings on such pivotal figures as Jean Cocteau, Jean-Louis Barrault, Eugne Ionesco, Jean Genet, Jean-Paul Sartre, Samuel Beckett, and Albert Camus in theater and Claude Simon, Robert Pinget, Philippe Sollers, and Alain Robbe-Grillet in fiction. Bishop knew these creative artists personally, and his insightful analyses provide an informative, entertaining insider's look at the development and workings of the French Avant Garde. |
