“Irreducible to any single literary genre, the Volodinian cosmos is skillfully crafted, fusing elements of science fiction with magical realism and political commentary.”  
—Nicholas Hauck, Music & Literature

One of Volodine’s funniest books, Bardo or Not Bardo takes place in his universe of failed revolutions, radical shamanism, and off-kilter nomenclature.

In each of these seven vignettes, someone dies and has to make his way through the Tibetan afterlife, also known as the Bardo, where souls wander for forty-nine days before being reborn with the help of the Book of the Dead.

Unfortunately, Volodine’s characters bungle their chances at enlightenment: the newly dead end up choosing to waste away their afterlife sleeping or to be reborn as an insignificant spider. The living aren’t much better off and make a mess of things in their own way, to the point of mistaking a Tibetan cookbook for the holy book.

Once again, Volodine has demonstrated his range and ambition, crafting a moving, hysterical work about transformations and the power of the book. (Read an Excerpt)

Translated from the French by J. T. Mahany

 

About the Author: Antoine Volodine is the primary pseudonym of a French writer who has published twenty books under this name, several of which are available in English translation. He also publishes under the names Lutz Bassmann and Manuela Draeger. Most of his works take place in a post-apocalyptic world where members of the “post-exoticism” writing movement have all been arrested as subversive elements. Together, these works constitute one of the most inventive, ambitious projects of contemporary writing.

About the Translator: J. T. Mahany is a graduate of the MA in Literary Translation Studies program at the University of Rochester and is currently studying for his MFA at the University of Arkansas. He has previously translated Volodine's Post Exoticism in Ten Lessons, Lesson Eleven, also available from Open Letter. He won the 2017 Albertine Prize for his translation of Bardo or Not Bardo.

 

“His quirky and eccentric narrative achieves quite staggering and electric effects. . . . Dazzling in its epic proportions and imaginative scope.”

Great suit, but size up
Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black
This set comes with a jacket, pants, extra buttons, and a bow tie with an easy clip to remove it. The suit itself is really nice and I love the pattern, however, I thought I purchased a XXL, but seemed to have ordered a L instead. Not quite sure how that happened, but suffice to say, he could not fit the suit. He is normally an L in pants, so based on the fit, we would have needed to size up anyways. He couldn't fit his leg in the pants or his arm in the jacket. I automatically size up on items like this because you can take clothes in, but can't take them out if there is not enough cloth. The suit pants are not lined, but you can see that they did leave room for the legs to be let out. Perhaps if we have the pants let out, he would be able to wear the pants. The jacket is fully lined and it comes with two inside pockets, one can be buttoned. I cannot tell if the jacket has room for alterations, but I might have him fitted for it just to see. It comes with a slit on the back of the jacket, so it has that going for it from a quality standpoint. It does come folded so you have iron or dry clean it before wearing. The quality is good for the most part. There are some threads coming out of the bow tie, but that's all I seen that is less the good. I'm giving it four star based solo on it's look and feel. Of course, I can't comment on the fit. For around $80, I definitely think it's worth checking out for a school semi-formal or fancy dinner out. It might be a little lightweight for a higher end event. Did I say I love the pattern?
