• Summary

  The first anthology to span the oeuvre of the late writer Edmond Jab's, including pieces previously unpublished in English. "To take the wrong door means indeed to go against the order that presided over the plan of the house, over the layout of the rooms, over the beauty and rationality of the whole. But what discoveries are made possible for the visitor The new path permits him to see what no one other than himself could have perceived from that angle. All the more so because I am not sure that one can enter a written work without having forced one's own way in first." - from In Place of a Foreword (Greenlight Books).
