Présentation de l'éditeur :
In LIFE WITH SWAN, West poetically transcribes the literary household he shares with Diane Ackerman 'Swan' in a beautifully crafted story of the seventies. As his narrator re-creates their time together and their friendship with Raoul Bunsen, a character based on the astronomer Carl Sagan, West paints a tender picture of lovers forging a bond that transcends the divide between art and science.
Through Bunsen's connections, the couple are invited to behind-the-scenes looks at momentous shuttle launches and astronomical discoveries, an experience that proves to be creative inspiration for them both. With lyrical and lively language, West reveals the similarities in the awe he feels for the universe and the pleasure he takes in Swan. His imagery, from the dazzling appearance of Swan's hair to the infinite expanse of the Milky Way, burns with emotion and forms a striking testament to his feeling.

After 17 novels Paul West has earned a reputation as "possibly our finest living stylist in English" (Vance Bourjaily, Chicago Tribune). He is the recipient of many prestigious awards including the Award in Literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. The French Government recently decorated him Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters.
