From 1923, when he emigrated from Bucharest, to his deportation to
Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944, Benjamin Fondane made a unique and
independent-minded contribution to the literary and intellectual
life of Paris. One of the most significant pieces in Fondane's body
of work is the long poem Ulysses, first published in 1933. Fondane
considerably revised his text during the dark years of occupied
Paris, and it is this second ""edition without an end,"" left
unfinished at the time of his deportation, that is translated here
for the first time into English. It is a moving testament to the
poetic voice and philosophical engagement of this exceptional
figure of the Paris avant-garde.
