Synopsis
Here we have the anatomy of the contemporary writer, as imagined by the pseudonymous, "post-exotic" Antoine Volodine. His writers aren't the familiar, bitter, alcoholic kind, however; nor are they great, romantic, tortured geniuses; and least of all are they media darlings and socialites. No, in Volodine's universe, the writer is pitted in a pathetic struggle against silence and sickness--that is, when she's not about to be murdered by random lunatics or fellow inmates. Consisting of seven loosely interlocking stories, "Writers" is a window onto a chaotic reality where expressing oneself brings along with it repercussions both absurd and frighteningly familiar.

Review
His talent surfaces time and again in luxurious, hypnotic ways... [Volodine] has written the type of open-ended work that will capture the attention of lovers of lit crit as fiction.
(Publishers Weekly)Clever and incisive.
(New York Times Book Review)His quirky and eccentric narrative achieves quite staggering and electric effects.... Dazzling in its epic proportions and imaginative scope.
(The Nation Magazine)Very rewarding: there's pleasure in the texts themselves, and there's a sense of a much larger whole, which, with more effort, might slowly be grasped.
