Newspaper by Edouard Lev

Newspaper by Edouard Lev

In his second novel, Newspaper, the acclaimed writer, photographer, and artist Edouard Leve made perhaps his most radical attempt to remove himself from his own work. Made up of fictionalized newspaper articles, arranged according to broad sections some familiar, some not Newspaper gives us a tour of the modern world as reported by its supposedly impartial chroniclers. Much of this news is quite sad, some is funny, but the whole serves as a gory parody of the way we have been taught to see our lives and the lives of our fellow human beings.

"A mixture of thoughtfulness and self-regard, honest interrogation and mere posing.. the kind of writing that got us reading in the first place." — Zadie Smith

Edouard Levé was born on January 1, 1965, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France.
