Seller's Description:
Very Good jacket. Oberlin. 1982. Field Translation Series/Oberlin College. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0932440126. Translated from the Czech by David Young & Dana Habova. 158 pages. hardcover. Cover design by Stephen J. Farkas Jr. from a Miro painting. keywords: Europe Czech Literature Poetry Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION-What Europe's populations have had to endure in this century, as David Young's Introduction notes, ‘has inevitably shaped their literature by forcing it to a crisis of identity and function: in a world of war, of holocaust, of political oppression, what value does language have? What sense can literature make? How can art apply to, let alone enhance, life? Finding answers to these difficult questions has produced a literature that is often outer-directed, with an attachment to objects and an impersonal manner. A preference has developed for what Holub has described as ‘the fully exposed poem, ' one whose structure and manner are so direct that weak or naďve content simply can't survive in it. ' Among the masters of this new literature is Miroslav Holub. This book may mark him as THE master. Miroslav Holub has been hailed as a major figure in east European literature and praised for a sensibility, permeated by scientific thought, that bridges dangerous gaps and specious divisions in human knowledge. This new collection, built on the twin metaphor of theater and immunology, marks a new level of achievement for this remarkable poet, both in the quality of individual poems and stage pieces and in its overall unity of design. This is its first appearance anywhere, in any language. INTERFERON, OR ON THEATER was completed and translated during Holub's 1982 residency at Oberlin as Fulbright Writer-in-Residence, and some of the ‘stage poems' were first written and performed during a similar visit in 1979. inventory #5009.
