Seller's Description:
New. New! 'One November evening (in circumstances that would take too long to narrate here) I found in Paris, on the Mirabeau Bridge, a notebook with black, glossy, oilcloth covers, like the ones in which grocers used to keep accounts. There were exactly 126 pages-commercial paper-filled with small writing, streamlined, without erasures. A curious reading, tiring in places, obscure passages, notations that appeared foreign to me, in fact even absolutely contrasting. ' Presented here for the first time in English, the late Mihail Sebastian's debut book, seldom mentioned by scholars or even the author himself, Fragments from a Found Notebook casts an important light on a young writer-later to be known primarily as a diarist and documentarian-struggling with the identity of the I at the tip of his pen. ~ Publisher.
