Description

Fiction. This classic text by Oulipo writer Harry Mathews begins in a Russian prison camp at a baseball game and goes on to a digressive journey from Afghanistan to Venice, then to India and Morocco and France. All of this takes place amid Mathew's fictional concern and play with games, puzzles, arcana, and stories within stories within stories. "Harry Mathews' TLOOTH fits no category I can think of... in his inventiveness and erudition he is like Pynchon, Barth, and William Gaddis" (Granville Hicks, Saturday Review).

Born in New York in 1930, Harry Mathews settled in Europe in 1952 and has since then lived in Spain, Germany, Italy, and (chiefly) France. When Mathews published his first poems in 1956, he was associated with the so-called New York School of poets, with three of whom (John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, and James Schuyler) he founded the review Locus Solus in 1961. Through his friendship with Georges Perec, he became a member of the Oulipo in 1972. The author of six novels and several collections of poetry, recent publications are THE NEW TOURISM (Sand Paper Press, 2010), Sainte Catherine, a novella written in French (Editions P.O.L, 2000), The Human Country: the Collected Short Stories (Dalkey Archive Press, 2002), The Case of the Persevering Maltese: Collected Essays (Dalkey Archive Press, 2003), OULIPO COMPENDIUM (co-edited with Alastair Brotchie; Atlas Press and Make Now Press, 2005), and My Life in CIA: A Chronicle of 1973 (Dalkey Archive Press, 2005).
