"'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"--Back cover No library descriptions found. |
