Ravel by Jean Echenoz
A bestseller in France, Ravel is a beguiling and original evocation of the last 10 years in the life of a musical genius. Opening in 1927 as Maurice Ravel - dandy, eccentric and curmudgeon - voyages across the Atlantic to begin his triumphant grand tour across the United States, Ravel is not just a delightfully quirky portrait of a famous musician coping with the ups and downs of his professional and personal life, but also a touching farewell to a dignified and lonely old man going reluctantly into the night.I'm Gone (The New Press) earned Jean Echenoz the coveted Prix Goncourt in France. He is the author of five previous novels, all of which have been translated into English, and he has won numerous literary awards. Linda Coverdale has received the Scott Moncrieff Prize, the French-American Foundation Translation Prize, and the International IMPAC Dublin Award in the past. She has translated nearly fifty works, many of which have been published by the New Press.
