EXPERIMENTAL OPERA FANTASY EUER FAUST BUTOR POUSSEUR GERMAN TEXT STRUCTURALISM

Description: EUER FAUSTVariables Spiel in Art einer Oper. Vorläufige Fassungvon Michel Butor und Henri PousseurPublished by Biederstein Verlag, Munchen, 1964. First German Edition. Very good hardcover, in very good dustjacket. Tight binding, solid spine, previous owner's signature to ffep, clean unmarked text. Illustrated, 8vo, 163 pages. Votre Faust: Fantaisie variable genre Opéra (Your Faust) is an opera (or, more precisely, a "variable fantasy in the style of an opera") in two acts by the Belgian composer Henri Pousseur, for five actors, four singers, twelve instrumentalists, and tape. The text is by the French author Michel Butor. Originally written between 1960 and 1968.Journalists and critics have associated Michel Butor’s novels with the nouveau roman, but Butor himself long resisted that association. The main point of similarity is a very general one, not much beyond that; like exponents of the nouveau roman, he can be described as an experimental writer. His best-known novel, La Modification, for instance, is written entirely in the second person. In his 1967 La critique et l'invention, he famously said that even the most literal quotation is already a kind of parody because of its "trans-contextualization."For decades, he chose to work in other forms, from essays to poetry to artist's books to unclassifiable works like Mobile. For artists' books he collaborated with artists like Gérard Serée. Literature, painting and travel were subjects particularly dear to Butor. Part of the fascination of his writing is the way it combines the rigorous symmetries that led Roland Barthes to praise him as an epitome of structuralism (exemplified, for instance, by the architectural scheme of Passage de Milan or the calendrical structure of L'emploi du temps) with a lyrical sensibility more akin to Baudelaire than to Robbe-Grillet.
