Originally published to promote his French translation of MobyDick, Jean Giono's Melville: A Novel is an astonishing literary compound of fiction, biography, personal essay, and criticism.In the fall of 1849, Herman Melville traveled to London to deliver his novel WhiteJacket to his publisher. On his return to America, Melville would write MobyDick. Melville: A Novel imagines what happened in between: the adventurous writer fleeing London for the country, wrestling with an angel, falling in love with an Irish nationalist, and, finally, meeting the angels challengeto express mans fate by writing the novel that would become his masterpiece.Eighty years after it appeared in English, MobyDick was translated into French for the first time by the Provenal novelist Jean Giono and his friend Lucien Jacques. The publisher persuaded Giono to write a preface, granting him unusual latitude. The result was this literary essay, Melville: A Novelpart biography, part philosophical rumination, part romance, part unfettered fantasy. Paul Epriles expressive translation of this intimate homage brings the exchange full circle.Paul Eprile was a cowinner of the FrenchAmerican Foundation's 2018 Translation Prize for his translation of Melville.
