Hold Fast Your Crown by Yannick Haenel

Hold Fast Your Crown by Yannick Haenel

A man writes a screenplay on the life of Herman Melville. Not a single producer is interested until someone gives him the phone number of the great American filmmaker Michael Cimino, legendary director of The Deer Hunter. A meeting is arranged in New York, and Cimino reads the manuscript. What follows is a series of crazy adventures through Ellis Island, the Musee de la Chasse in Paris, a lake in Italy. This improbable, insightful tale bridges the divide between cinema and literature in unexpected ways that are at once gratifying and profound.

Yannick Haenel is the author of several novels, including Introduction � la mort fran�aise and �voluer parmi les avalanches. The Messenger, published in France under the title Jan Karski, won the Prix Interalli� and the Prix du roman FNAC in 2009. In Paris in 1997, he cofounded the avant-garde literary journal Ligne de risque.

Teresa Lavender Fagan is a freelance translator. She has published more than a dozen book-length translations, including Jean Bott�ro's The Oldest Cuisine in the World: Cooking in Mesopotamia and Catherine Cusset's Life of David Hockney.
