Descriere magazin:
New Directions is proud to present Fleur Jaeggy\'s strange and mesmerizing essays about the writers Thomas De Quincey, John Keats, and Marcel Schwob. A renowned stylist of hyper-brevity in fiction, Fleur Jaeggy proves herself an even more concise master of the essay form, albeit in a most peculiar and lapidary poetic vein. Of De Quincey\'s early nineteenth-century world we hear of the habits of writers: Charles Lamb ``spoke of \'Lilliputian rabbits\' when eating frog fricassse``; Henry Fuseli ``ate a diet of raw meat in order to obtain splendid dreams``; ``Hazlitt was perceptive about musculature and boxers``; and ``Wordsworth used a buttery knife to cut the pages of a first-edition Burke.`` In a book of ``blue devils`` and night visions, the Keats essay opens: ``In 1803, the guillotine was a common child\'s toy.`` And poor Schwob\'s end comes as he feels ``like a \'dog cut open alive\'`` ``His face colored slightly, turning into a mask of gold. His eyes stayed open imperiously. No one could shut his eyelids. The room smoked of grief.`` Fleur Jaeggy\'s essays--or are they prose poems?--smoke of necessity: the pages are on fire.
