READING NANA. AN EXPERIMENTAL NOVEL, 2017
Ridiculous rumours are circulating here about Nana.
Céard to Zola, May 1879
Emile Zola's novel Nana is re-read and re-written, ghost-written, condensed according to soft furnishings, lighting effects (including metaphor), other women, death and dying, cats, anti-semitism, money, odour, atmosphere, the streets of Paris, and many other categories, including a dance to the accompaniment of Swing swing swing by Michel Legrand.
Sharon Kivland is an artist and writer, whose life has been ruined by the appetite for luxury and facile pleasures.
The pamphlet Emptiness & Silence. A Supplement to Reading Nana is offered gratis with the purchase of this book.
