Paperback. Zustand: Good. The first English-language collection focused on the later works of Joyce Mansour, an Arab-Jewish Surrealist poet who was exiled from Egypt in the 1950s and settled in Paris. Mansour's late poems chart constellations of desire, femininity, and dream. Considered by Andre Bréton to be the preeminent Surrealist of the post-war period, Mansour brings this masculine movement into a feminine realm never-before-imagined. She insists on a forgotten or perhaps vehemently denied eventuality of women's equality: their ability to do harm, to be violent. IN THE GLITTERING MAW is poet C. Francis Fisher's first published translation and includes a preface by eminent Surrealism scholar Mary Ann Caws. || "C. Francis Fisher's translations of Joyce Mansour's later poems give fresh voice to a fierce, passionate, sensuous, scandalous cry that has strained to be heard in the Anglophone world for over half a century. It's about time." --MARK POLIZZOTTI || "Guillaume Apollinaire, Nelly Sachs, Frank O'Hara-how strange to find the magnificent Joyce Mansour, in C. Francis Fischer's sinewy and imaginative translation, summoning that trio of revolutionary voices! Most of my life has been spent in ignorance of Mansour's eccentric and eruptive genius. Torn between difficulty and joy, Mansour makes new-and blissfully out-of-bounds-limbs and organs emerge in every line, like a shower of comets." --WAYNE KOESTENBAUM || "Although allied to Surrealism, Joyce Mansour's work exceeds the strictures of that movement-one could say that she stopped the surrealists in their tracks by giving body (parts) to their boy-dreams-proposing erotic visions that foreshadow the likes of Carolee Schneemann. What Serge Gavronsky called Mansour's 'verbal form of cannibalism' is also an anguished meditation on death & freedom, ferociously anchored in the black humor of the uprooted & eternally exiled." --PIERRE JORIS || "There is of course nothing little in this truly important poet, and this translation is no nibble at her production: this is a gulp worth gulping." --MARY ANN CAWS || "Don't give her access to the morgue: she'll wake the corpses." --ALAIN BOSQUET || French Literature.

Zustand: Nuevo. Una novela nunca antes publicada en España. Una autora mítica y por descubrir. Una novela fascinante y cruda donde sexo y enfermedad se convierten en protagonistas.Joyce Mansour, una de las voces más potentes que ha dado la literatura francesa en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, nace en 1928 en Bowden, Inglaterra, y muere en París en 1986. Egipcia con pasaporte británico, crece en El Cairo en el seno de una familia acomodada de judíos sefarditas que se dedica al comercio textil. Su feliz primer matrimonio dura apenas un año, como consecuencia de un cáncer devastador. Viuda, al poco se casa con Sami Mansour, de quien toma el apellido con el que firmará sus libros. En 1953 la familia Mansour se traslada a París, donde la escritora frecuenta enseguida la vida literaria y se vincula al grupo surrea lista de André Breton. Su obra, que refleja una profunda angustia existencial, así como una obsesión febril en torno a la enfermedad y la vejez, contrasta con una vida social agradable y glamourosa: tan atractiva como inteligente, Mansour rápidamente despierta una enorme fascinación en los ambientes literarios y artísticos. Salvo algunos poemas en inglés, toda su producción literaria, fundamentalmente poesía, pero también teatro y algunas novelas, la escribirá en francés. En 1958 publica una de sus novelas más famosas, Les gisants satis faits; en 1973 la editorial Gallimard reúne bajo el título Histoires nocives las novelas cortas Jules César (que había sido publicada con anterioridad) e Îles flottantes, que ahora ofrecemos en español; en 1991 Actes Sud compila toda su prosa y poesía.No es ésta una novela «fácil»: algunos lectores podrían sentirse agredidos por tanto sexo y tan explícito; y otros, por la manera tan cruda de mostrar enfermedades y hospitales. Pero Islas flotantes satisfará a muchos otros lectores por esas mismas cuestiones: por cómo muestra el sexo y por cómo muestra la enfermedad. Sin tapujos, sin eufemismos. Y con una prosa tan apabullante como extraordinaria.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Floating Islands gathers three key prose works by Joyce Mansour, a central yet still undertranslated figure of Surrealism whose writing confronts power, desire, and bodily dissolution with brutal clarity. Anchored by her final and most significant prose work, Floating Islands, the collection stages the hospital as a total institution: a sealed hierarchy where illness, authority, sexuality, and imagination concoct fevered realities.A woman arrives as a visitor to her dying father and becomes, almost imperceptibly, a patient herself. Recurring figures circulate around her: doctors and nurses whose vitality sharpens their cruelty, fellow patients suspended between consciousness and decay, and fragments of the self that split, double, and erode. Mansour's prose moves between memoir, dream, and philosophical meditation, exposing how institutions oppress bodies while gaslighting them into their notion of healing.In addition to Floating Islands, this collection includes Mansour's earliest prose experiments, the stories "Julius Cesar" and "The Parrot," allowing readers to trace the evolution of her Surrealist method across decades. No longer cast aside as historical curiosities, these works position Mansour as a writer whose interrogation of authority, identity, and the unruly body speaks directly to contemporary feminist, experimental, and cross-genre literature. …
