Download or read book The Flight of the Angels written by Alistair Charles Rolls and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a close study of four novels by Boris Vian. It aims to show how L'Écume des jours, L'Automne à Pékin, L'Herbe rouge and L'Arrache-coeur form a unified and coherent tetralogy. By establishing close links between these four texts, it becomes possible to achieve a more comprehensive understanding, not only of the significance of the tetralogy in exposing a complex and multi-layered novelistic strategy at the heart of the vianesque, but of the individual novels as autonomous creations. An examination of the novels reveals that they are not merely joined to one another via a superficial network of textual similarities (that which I refer to as intratextuality), but that this intertwining is emblematic of a common method of narrative construction. Each Vian novel is dependent, for a thorough understanding of the text to be possible, upon the multiple lines of external influence running through it. The sources of this influence (which I refer to as intertextuality) are located in various major texts of twentieth century literature, anglophone as well as francophone. Thus, in each instance the narrative is driven by a complicated interaction of intratextuality and intertextuality.
Download or read book If I Say If written by Alistair Rolls and published by University of Adelaide Press. This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boris Vian is a rare phenomenon. Nothing short of a national treasure in France, he is hardly known overseas. In his lifetime, he divided literary opinion with masterpieces that failed to sell and best sellers that caused outrage, trials and even deaths, including his own. As an impresario, he became the figurehead of the jazz scene that marked the French left bank at the end of the Second World War and was responsible for bringing Duke Ellington and Miles Davis to France. As a musician, he played his trumpet against the advice of cardiologists, sang pacifist songs before audiences of outraged patriots and, in passing, created French rock ‘n’ roll. Posthumously, he became known for his theatre, film scripts and poetry as well as for his novels. And in May ’68 he became a revolutionary icon.

Book excerpt: De son vivant, Boris Vian (1920-1959) est davantage connu pour ses talents d'amateur de jazz et d'animateur de soirées à Saint-Germain-des-Prés, et pour sa réputation d'auteur sulfureux, que pour son œuvre littéraire. Celle-ci est découverte de façon posthume grâce à quelques éditeurs passionnés, fascinés par cet homme toujours jeune, créateur d'une langue originale et d'un univers foisonnant. Diplômé de l'École centrale, Boris Vian n'exerce son métier d'ingénieur que quelques années et préfère se consacrer à l'écriture. Sous le pseudonyme de Vernon Sullivan, il rédige J'irai cracher sur vos tombes, dans le style des romans noirs américains, en se faisant passer pour le traducteur. Bien que l'ouvrage, jugé scandaleux, soit censuré, trois autres titres de Vernon Sullivan voient le jour jusqu'en 1950. L'image de l'écrivain en pâtit : après L'Écume des jours, les romans signés de son véritable nom passent inaperçus. En 1953, devant l'échec de L'Arrache-cœur, il se détourne de l'écriture romanesque au profit de la chanson, en tant que parolier, chanteur et directeur artistique chez Philips. Il crée également pour le théâtre et le cabaret. Ses chansons, reprises encore de nos jours, ont marqué et fasciné nombre d'auteurs-compositeurs.
