Reading Writing, by Julien Gracq

This first English-language edition of En lisant en écrivant will mark a turning point in the public reception of Julien Gracq. Here he emerges as the ideal critic, a reader who accompanies himself in his reading like a "polite third party."

The Narrow Waters, by Julien Gracq

In fluid, associative prose, Julien Gracq navigates again—this time in memory—the magical Evre and the terrain through which it coursed in his youth. The Narrow Waters is a synaptic meditation on Beginning and Ending whose inquiries and visions flow, and sometimes cascade, through a landscape of phantoms, flora, and fairy tale.

The Shape Of A City, by Julien Gracq

The most original book of Julien Gracq's later output is about Nantes. It begins with a quotation from Baudelaire that Gracq repeats and distorts: "The shape of a city, as we all know, changes more quickly than the mortal heart."
