A Leopard-Skin Hat may be the French writer Anne Serre’s most
moving novel yet. Hailed in Le Point as a “masterpiece of
simplicity, emotion and elegance,” it is the story of an intense
friendship between “the Narrator” and his close childhood
friend, Fanny, who suffers from profound psychological disorders. A
series of short scenes paints the portrait of a strong-willed and
tormented young woman battling many demons, and of the narrator’s
loving and anguished attachment to her. Anne Serre poignantly
depicts the bewildering back and forth between hope and despair
involved in such a relationship, while playfully calling into
question the very form of the novel. Written in the aftermath of
the death of the author’s little sister, A Leopard-Skin Hat is
both the celebration of a tragically foreshortened life and a
valedictory farewell, written in Anne Serre’s signature style.
What does it mean to talk about musical coherence at the end of a
century characterised by fragmentation and discontinuity? How can
the diverse influences which stand behind the works of many late
twentieth-century composers be reconciled with the singular
immediacy of the experiences that they can create? How might an
awareness of the distinctive ways in which these experiences are
generated and controlled affect the way we listen to, reflect upon
and write about this music? Mark Hutchinson outlines a novel
concept of coherence within Western art music from the 1980s to the
turn of the millennium as a means of understanding the work of a
number of contemporary composers, including Thomas Ades, Kaija
Saariaho, Toru Takemitsu and Gyoergy Kurtag, whose music cannot be
fitted easily into a particular compositional school or analytical
framework. Coherence is understood as a multi-layered phenomenon
experienced, above all, in the act of listening, but reliant upon a
variety of other aspects of musical experience, including
compositional statements, analysis, and connections of aesthetic,
as well as listeners' own, imaginative conceptualisations.
Accordingly, the approach taken here is similarly multi-faceted:
close analytical readings of a number of specific works are
combined with insights drawn from philosophy and aesthetics, music
perception, and critical theory, with a particular openness to
novel metaphorical presentations of basic musical ideas about form,
language and time.

Anna has been living happily for twenty years with loving, sturdy,
outgoing Guillaume when she suddenly (truly at first sight) falls
in love with Thomas. Intelligent and handsome, but apparently
scarred by a terrible early emotional wound, he reminds Anna of
Jude the Obscure. Adrift and lovelorn, she tries unsuccessfully to
fend off her attraction, torn between the two men. "How strange it
is to leave someone you love for someone you love. You cross a
footbridge that has no name, that's not named in any poem. No,
nowhere is a name given to this bridge, and that is why Anna found
it so difficult to cross." Anne Serre offers here, in her third
book in English, her most direct novel to date. The Beginners is
unpredictable, sensual, exhilarating, oddly moral, perverse,
absurd-and unforgettable.
In a large country house, shut off from the world within a gated
garden, three young women responsible for the education of a group
of little boys are hanging paper lanterns for a party. Their
desires, however, lie elsewhere... Meet The Governesses: wild or
drifting about in a melancholy calm, spied upon by Monsieur
Austeur, fascinated by the ever more mysterious unfolding of
events, like the charms and spells of a midsummer night's dream...
This book offers an authoritative overview of the history of
evangelicalism as a global movement, from its origins in Europe and
North America in the first half of the eighteenth century to its
present-day dynamic growth in Africa, Asia, Latin America and
Oceania. Starting with a definition of the movement within the
context of the history of Protestantism, it follows the history of
evangelicalism from its early North Atlantic revivals to the great
expansion in the Victorian era, through to its fracturing and
reorientation in response to the stresses of modernity and total
war in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It
describes the movement's indigenization and expansion toward
becoming a multicentered and diverse movement at home in the
non-Western world that nevertheless retains continuity with its
historic roots. The book concludes with an analysis of contemporary
worldwide evangelicalism's current trajectory and the movement's
adaptability to changing historical and geographical circumstances.

Now in paperback, Rene Char's Hypnos is both a remarkable work of
literature and a document of unique significance in the history of
the French Resistance. Hailed by the poet Paul Eluard as an
"absolute masterpiece" upon its first appearance in 1946, Rene
Char's Hypnos is both a remarkable work of literature and a
document of unique significance in the history of the French
Resistance. Based on a journal Char kept during his time in the
Maquis, it ranges in style from abrupt and sometimes enigmatic
reflections, in which the poet seeks to establish compass bearings
in the darkness of Occupied France, to narrative descriptions that
throw into vivid relief the dramatic and often tragic nature of the
issues he had to confront as the head of his Resistance network. A
tribute to the individual men and women who fought at his side,
this volume is also a meditation on the white magic of poetry and a
celebration of the power of beauty to combat terror and transform
our lives. Translated into German by Paul Celan and into Italian by
Vittorio Sereni, the book has never been carried over into English
with the attention to style and detail that it deserves. Published
in full here for the first time, this long-awaited new translation
does justice at last to the incandescence and pathos of the
original French.
One of the foremost poets of the French Resistance, Rene Char has
been hailed by Donald Revell as "the conscience of modern French
poetry." Translated by Mark Hutchinson, The Inventors is a
companion volume to Char's critically acclaimed Hypnos. It gathers
more than forty poems that represent a cross-section of Char's
mature work, spanning from 1936 to 1988. All three genres of Char's
work are represented here: verse poems, prose poems, and the
abrupt, lapidary propositions for which he is best known. These
maxima sententia combine the terseness of La Rochefoucauld with the
probing and sometimes riddling character of the fragments of
Heraclitus. The Inventors includes a brief introduction to Char's
life and work, as well as a series of notes on the backstories of
the works, which explain allusions that may not be immediately
familiar to the English-speaking reader. These new translations
stay true to the originals, while at the same time conveying much
of the music and beauty of the French poems. Praise for Rene Char
"Char, I believe, is a poet who will tower over twentieth-century
French poetry."-George Steiner
From the brilliant, sui generis Anne Serre - author of the
celebrated Governesses - come three bewitching, thoroughly
out-of-the-way tales. 'To make a pact with the thing that threatens
you is arguably the smartest trick of all.' 'The Fool' may have
stepped out of a tarot pack - to walk a mountain trail or worm his
way into a writer's mind. 'The Narrator' proposes his mirror image,
a storyteller in sheep's clothing, who has a bone to pick with
language. In 'The Wishing Table', the orgiastic antics of an
incestuous family are recounted by one of three daughters. A dream
logic rules each of these unpredictable, sensual and surreal
stories: romps no doubt, yet deeply moral, and entirely
unforgettable ones.

In this stimulating collection of essays, John Roberts draws
together a wide range of work on some of the most important artists
of the post-war period. Written by leading art historians and
artist-writers, the essays take a sharply critical look at the
construction of modern art history. The artists discussed include
Francis Picabia, Robert Smithson, Ad Reinhardt, Andy Warhol,
Gerhard Richter, Mary Kelly, Cindy Sherman, Victor Burgin and
Laurie Anderson. The extensive influence of post-structuralism on
all schools of art history has brought about a widespread
derogation of questions around intentionality and social agency.
Free-ranging textual interpretation has come to outweigh causal
analysis. Art Has No History! reverses this bias. Putting the
artist back into art history, the essays reinstate the claims for
historical materialism as a theory of the conflictual socialization
of individuals. Acknowledging the dissemblances involved in the
representations of artistic invention, the book challenges the
self-image of traditional art history and the radical New Art
History alike. In his introduction, John Roberts gives a
fascinating account of the vicissitudes of Marxist writing on art,
from Max Raphael and Arnold Hauser to T.J. Clark and Griselda
Pollock. Placing the debates on intention and agency in their wider
political context, he refers to what he calls "the continuing
influence of historical materialism on the best Anglophone art
writing today." Art Has No History! is a lively and iconoclastic
contribution to that tradition.
