FUTURE CONCENTRATION

Rate this book
Future Concentration rassemblent bribes, instants poétiques, qui laissent apercevoir peu à peu la figure de Raymond Federman telle un « chemin pierreux » et chaotique. Il donne à voir, par jeu d’alternance entre première et troisième personne, un enfant marqué par l’ « humiliation en jaune », un vagabond exilé de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique ou encore un homme de soixante ans qui s’interroge de la peur de mort. Future Concentration constitue la première anthologie des poésies de Raymond Federman, une écriture singulière relevée d’un zeste d’humour noirNé en 1928, à Paris, mort en 2009 à San Diego (Californie). Romancier, poète, traducteur, surfictioniste, critifictioniste, ancien parachutiste, golfeur fanatique, joueur de roulette, ami de Beckett, champion de natation, Raymond Federman a été cela tour à tour dans sa vie haute en couleur. En France, il a notamment publié sa poésie aux éditions Le mot et le reste Future Concentration, L’Extatique de Jule et Juliette et un essai Surfiction.

About the author

Raymond Federman

58 books33 followers
Raymond Federman was a French–American novelist and academic, known also for poetry, essays, translations, and criticism. He held positions at the University at Buffalo from 1973 to 1999, when he was appointed Distinguished Emeritus Professor. Federman was a writer in the experimental style, one that sought to deconstruct traditional prose. This type of writing is quite prevalent in his book Double or Nothing, in which the linear narrative of the story has been broken down and restructured so as to be nearly incoherent. Words are also often arranged on pages to resemble images or to suggest repetitious themes.
