Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "It is New Year's Eve 1999. Our hero, known only as 'the old man,' awaits deportation to the space colonies. But why? His two devoted friends, Moinous and Namredef, have been urgently and desperately investigating the reason for his imminent exile, and they report their findings to Federman, the author. They are not, however, particularly reliable storytellers: they know only bits of the old man's life, and besides, they keep breaking off where they don't remember anymore, or went out of the room, or weren't there in the first place, or get bored with their own narrative--in short, their account is as fragmented and piecemeal as most memories. [] Ribald farce, tragedy, history, philosophy, and science fiction--THE TWOFOLD VIBRATION touches and transforms many genres as it examines what it means to live as a survivor in the post-Holocaust era. Raymond Federman has adopted Samuel Beckett's concept of the twofold vibration--the perpetual, contrary motion that compels us to define life by simultaneously looking back and driving forward--but he puts it to distinctive and original use. Federman's finally optimistic confrontation with the Holocaust--that black hole in the fabric of human culture--suggests that if we can find new ways of describing events, we might be able to find new ways of thinking them through. By experimenting brilliantly with form and language Federman has created an audacious and powerful work." [jacket copy] "Federman is a member of no group, no tribe, no faction. He has forever been doing exactly the same thing: creating, in joyful, disinterested confidence, a vision of man from the material of personal history and from the gleanings of his fully exercised moral imagination."--George Chambers. "THE TWOFOLD VIBRATION adds up to a splendid romp. Metaphiction for the millions. Seductive, addictive, jubilant."--John Gardner. "Federman is a remarkably original writer with a demonic imagination that passionately feeds on the very threat it poses. THE TWOFOLD VIBRATION continues to vibrate in the mind long after we put it down. A literary achievement of the first order."--Walter Abish. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a Fine intact jacket illustrating the Holocaust past of the old man, awaiting deportation to the space colonies. Quite presentable. N° de réf. du vendeur RUB2138
