Description

Poetry. Drama. Film. Translated by Nathana l. IN THE ENVIRONS OF A FILM collects together three previously untranslated works by Danielle Collobert, the author of MURDER and IT THEN. The works here, selected by the translator, see slowly, are scorings of scattered voices, and take the form of a scenario--Research--a radio play--Polyphony--and a poem--That of Words.

Danielle Collobert was one of the strongest, yet also one of the most subtle*#8212;and the most marginalized--poetic voices to emerge from post-WW2 France.--Cole Swensen
