Oranges & Peanuts for Sale by Eliot Weinberger

Oranges & Peanuts for Sale by Eliot Weinberger

Presented at the PEN World Voices Festival as a post-national writer, Eliot Weinberger is a sparkling essayist (Confrontation), and his writings a boundary-crossing, shape-shifting cabinet of curiosities (The Bloomsbury Review).

"Constant evidence of astounding and genuine erudition that may well exceed what Ezra Pound yearned for almost 100 years earlier" -- Jeff Simon - The Buffalo News
"Weinberger sent me in search of new writers and books, things I had not heard of till then but wish I had." -- Robert Leiter - Jewish Exponent

Eliot Weinberger’s books of literary essays include Karmic Traces, An Elemental Thing, The Ghosts of Birds, and Angels & Saints. His political writings are collected in What I Heard About Iraq and What Happened Here: Bush Chronicles. The author of a study of Chinese poetry translation, 19 Ways of Looking at Wang Wei, he is a translator of the poetry of Bei Dao and the editor of The New Directions Anthology of Classical Chinese Poetry. He was formerly the general editor of the series Calligrams: Writings from and on China and the literary editor of the Murty Classical Library of India. Among his many translations of Latin American poetry and prose are The Poems of Octavio Paz, Paz’s In Light of India, Vicente Huidobro’s Altazor, Xavier Villaurrutia’s Nostalgia for Death, and Jorge Luis Borges’ Seven Nights and Selected Non-Fictions. He has been publishing with New Directions since 1975.
