At once appalling and appallingly funny, Moravagine bears comparison with Naked Lunch, except that it is more entertaining to read. Heir to an immense fortune, Moravagine is a monster, a man in pursuit of a theorem that will justify his every desire. Released from a hospital for the criminally insane by his star struck psychiatrist (the narrator of the book) who foresees a companionship in crime, Moravagine travels from Moscow to San Antonio to deepest Amazonia, engaged in schemes as, among other things, a bomb maker, businessman, gold prospector, and pilot. The two friends return to Europe ju

Blaise Cendrars, one of twentieth-century France’s most gifted men of letters, came to Hollywood in 1936 for the newspaper Paris-Soir. Already a well-known poet, Cendrars was a celebrity journalist whose perceptive dispatches from the American dream factory captivated millions. These articles were later published as Hollywood: Mecca of the Movies, which has since appeared in many languages. Remarkably, this is its first translation into English. Hollywood in 1936 was crowded with stars, moguls, directors, scouts, and script girls. Though no stranger to filmmaking

This book’s aim is to provide a critical bird’s eye view of Blaise Cendrar’s oeuvre, through readings which sample its interdisciplinary diversity, as indicated by the protean metaphor of the title. Colvile’s six essays on the Franco-Swiss literal and literary vagabond have been organized under the headings of Cendrar’s three main genres: poetry, fiction and journalism. The heterogeneous assemblage of verse and prose texts analyzed here with a variety of theoretical approaches, should convey and reflect Cendrars’ eccentricity and intellectual independence,
