Tom Bishop has, for over sixty years, helped shape the literary,
philosophical, cultural, artistic, and political conversation
between Paris and New York. As professor and director of the Center
for French Civilization and Culture at New York University, he made
the Washington Square institution one of the great bridges between
French innovation and a New York scene in full transformation.
Bishop was close to Beckett, championed Robbe-Grillet in the United
States, befriended Marguerite Duras and Helene Cixous, and
organized historic public encounters-such as the one between James
Baldwin and Toni Morrison. He was also a scholar, a recognized
specialist in the avant-garde, notably the Nouveau Roman and the
Nouveau Theatre. In 2012, Bishop invited Donatien Grau to give a
talk at NYU. This invitation led to conversations-many of which are
presented in this book-and a friendship. Literature Is a Voyage of
Discovery gathers their dialogues, retracing Bishop's career, his
own history, his departure from Vienna, his studies, his meetings,
his choices, his conception of literature and life, his
relationship to the political and economic world, and the way he
helped define the profession of "curator" as it is practiced today,
offering a thought-provoking look into one of the leading minds of
our time.
