Davies's Rose Alley is reminiscent of Georges Perec's Life: A User's Manual in its manic imaginativeness, its fecundity of metaphor, and most of all in the wonderful stories it contains. Each chapter focuses on one character involved in the making of a film that is to be shot in Paris during the events of 1968 about an attack—supposed to have been instigaged by Rochester—on Dryden. There's a grin in every line, and a giggle on every page, The constraints that Davies employs—he's an enthusiast of the OuLiPo—have allowed him fruitful liberty. Harry Matthews says, "You have no excuse for not reading this book." I agree. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Fiction. When violence erupts on the streets of Paris in May 1968, a hapless international film crew finds itself stranded during the shooting of a preposterous low-budget blue movie about notorious 18th century erotic poet John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester. A deadpan and digressive behind-the-scenes catalog of the actors, filmmakers, bystanders, and subjects involved in this movie, ROSE ALLEY is also a fantastical and venomous love letter to French film and literature, obsessive collectors, pornography, language, revolution, misanthropy, the joys of cross-cultural misunderstanding, and other peculiar objects of affection. As Harry Mathews writes, "you have no excuse not to read this book." No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
