Author: Francis Ponge. Translated with introduction by Colombina Zamponi.
Written from 1967 to 1973 over a series of early mornings in seclusion in his country home, The Table offers a final chapter in Francis Ponge's interrogation of the unassuming objects in his life: in this case, the table upon which he wrote. This is one of Ponge's most personal, overlooked, and -- because it was the project he was working on when he died -- his least processed works. It reveals the personal struggle Ponge engaged in throughout all of his writing, a hesitant uncertainty he usually pared away from his published texts that is at touching opposition to the manufactured, "durable mother" of the table on and of which he here writes.
ISBN 9781939663245. Wakefield Press. pb. 104 pages. 11.4 x 17.8 cm.
