Description

An elegant guide to twentieth-century French literature and thought.

The Word from Paris is a lucid and accessible guide to the literature and thought of twentieth-century France.

John Sturrock ranges over the broad landscape of French writing, clarifying the various intellectual movements that have marked its recent history.

In a series of definitive essays, John Sturrock discusses writers such as Proust, Celine, Sarraute and Perec; thinkers such as Foucault, Althusser, Lacan and Derrida; and that peculiarly French figure, the writer/thinker: Sartre, Camus and Barthes.

He analyses such developments as Existentialism, the New Novel, Structuralism and the OuLiPo.

This elegant and illuminating journey through both celebrated and sometimes relatively neglected texts is an invaluable initiation into French intellectual and literary culture this century.
