The Flight Of Icarus: Novel (New Directions Books),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Flight of Icarus (Le Vol d'lcare) is his only novel written in the form of a play: seventyfour short scenes, complete with stage directions. Called by some the French Borges, by others the creator of le nouveau roman a generation ahead of its time, Raymond Queneau's work in fiction continues to defy strict categorization. The Flight of Icarus (Le Vol d'lcare) is his only novel written in the form of a play: seventyfour short scenes, complete with stage directions. Consciously parodying Pirandello and RobbeGrillet, it begins with a novelist's discovery that his principal character, Icarus by name, has vanished. This, in turn, sets off a rash of other such disappearances. Before long, a number of desperate authors are found in search of their fugitive characters, who wander through the Paris of the 1890s, occasionally meeting one another, and even straying into new novels. Icarus himselfperhaps following the destiny his name suggestsdevelops a passion for horseless carriages, kites, and machines that fly. And throughout the almost vaudevillian turns of the plot, we are aware, as always, of Queneau's evident delight at holding the thin line between farce and philosophy.
