Newspaper
In Newspaper, Edouard Levé's second "novel," the acclaimed
writer, photographer, and artist 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.

Praise for this book
"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
