My Body in Nine Parts: With Three Supplements & Ten Illustrations

by Raymond Federman

On This Page

Description

For over thirty years, Raymond Federman has been dazzling readers with his unique brand of "surfiction"--throwing words all over the page and inserting himself into every fiction, often through such zany alter egos as Moinous and Namredef. Now comes the greatest self-referential work of all as Federman spins all manner of tales off various parts of his own body, recounting his childhood in France, adult life in the US, Jewish heritage, and career as a writer, with no effort made to show more distinguish between fact and fiction, memory and imagination. Previously published in France as Mon corps en neuf parties, Federman's masterpiece is now available for the first time in English. show less
