A propos de cet article

New Directions, the discoverer of the greatest of the great contemporary world writerssuch as W. G. Sebald and Roberto Bolano, Inger Christensen and Bei Dao, Victor Pelevin and Javier Mariasnow puts them on display in a showcase anthology.Terrestrial Intelligence gathers the best new ground-breaking fiction from around the world, from W.

Sebald (one of the most gripping writers imaginable, The New York Review of Books) and Roberto Bolano (his generation's premier Latin-American writer, his] reputation and legend are in meteoric ascent, The New York Times) to the Russian enfant terrible Victor Pelevin and the astonishing Yoko Tawada. Not to be missed are the pleasures of Antonio Tabucchi (the most original voice in the new generation of Italian writers, The Harvard Book Review), Javier Marias (Spain's best bait for the Nobel Prize, The New York Sun) and Yoel Hoffmann (Israel's avant-garde genius, Forward).
