Robert Glück Livres

Robert Glück était un théoricien de la New Narrative, un romancier et un éditeur dont l'œuvre expérimentale, souvent en prose, imprègne la théorie L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E d'un discours queer, féministe et basé sur la classe. Il a profondément exploré l'autobiographie, la définissant pour inclure les rêves éveillés, l'acte d'écrire, la relation avec le lecteur et le moi comme une collaboration et une désintégration. Son approche examinait les lacunes, les incohérences et les distorsions dans les récits personnels et culturels. L'écriture de Glück explore les intersections du pouvoir, de la famille, de l'histoire et du langage, offrant une perspective unique sur les complexités de l'identité et de la narration.

Lust, religious zeal, and heartache come together in this provocative novel about two infatuations, one between a man and his young lover in the late 20th century and another between a 15th-century woman and Jesus Christ. First published in 1994, Robert Glück’s Margery Kempe is one of the most provocative, poignant, and inventive American novels of the last quarter century. The book tells two stories of romantic obsession. One, based on the first autobiography in English, the medieval Book of Margery Kempe, is about a fifteenth-century woman from East Anglia, a visionary, a troublemaker, a pilgrim to the Holy Land, and an aspiring saint, and her love affair with Jesus. It is complicated. The other is about the author’s own love for an alluring and elusive young American, L. It is complicated. Between these two Margery Kempe, the novel, emerges as an unprecedented exploration of desire, devotion, abjection, and sexual obsession in the form of a novel like no other novel. Robert Glück’s masterpiece bears comparison with the finest work of such writers as Kathy Acker and Chris Kraus. This edition includes an essay by Glück about the creation of the book titled "My Margery, Margery's Bob."
