Bardo or Not Bardo. Antoine Volodine

Bardo or Not Bardo - Antoine Volodine

Volodine's reputation has been growing over the past few years, with books coming out from Open Letter, Dalkey Archive Press, Dorothy, and the University of Nebraska. He won the Prix Médicis in 2014 for his latest novel, Terminus radieux, which is forthcoming from Open Letter. His lengthy essay in The New Inquiry about post-exoticism and his project—one in which he publishes numerous books under a plethora of pseudonyms, all connected in oblique and direct ways—generated a lot of social media buzz and provided a solid starting point for those new to his work. The Paris Review will be running an interview with Volodine later this fall.
