Editions P.O.L.'s Website / Frederic Boyer

is so swank.

It's great because they have all their titles (903?!) indexed there.

I'm going through them now, but I need to wait for my next manic upswing because then I will sit down and read every one of those.

Right now I'm just reading what intrigues me.

It's really nice. They give you the opening pages of the work as a PDF file.

Also, you get to see what the authors look like (you don't in their books--or the ones I have).

I was just enjoying Frederic Boyer's Abraham Remix.

I read a couple pages of that and enjoyed it.

I would cut and paste, but I don't think you can in that file?

I'll try with the next one I go into.

Boyer's re-envisioning Abraham as everybody's tragic biography is by turns funny and plangent.

It's very dense prose that some would probably call poetry.

That's one of those pointless arguments with a text like this.

I'm seeing typos. Pascal Quignard is Guignard on the page I just left. Ugh.

But back to the catalogue.

Oh, there is a Select Text feature. But I don't think you can cut and paste from it? Why allow you to "select" then? I don't get it.

Here's a link to the Boyer...

Frederic Boyer's Abraham Remix.

I was reading some Emanuelle Pagano, from her book composed of the letters and from her one novel. Then reading some vintage Hocquard from 85, Aerea in the Forests of Manhattan.
