Fantastic Orgy

By Alexander M. Frey. Translated with introduction by W. C. Bamberger.

First published in 1924, Fantastic Orgy is most notable for its title story, an account of a drinking rout organized for maimed beggars in honor of a sideshow attraction, a mechanical woman doomed to early death through disintegration from entertaining the masses—a depiction of a robotic woman preceding by several years Fritz Lang’s less sympathetic presentation in Metropolis.

Prose poems for lack of a better word, Szittya’s hashish films were almost lost to time but can now be recognized as similar to the work of Blaise Cendrars and Guillaume Apollinaire.

Diabelli

By Hermann Burger. Translated with introduction by Adrian Nathan West.

In following the tales of these magicians of madness, Diabelli offers unique confessional accounts of linguistic self-destruction. Chief among them is prestidigitator Grazio Diabelli, who refuses an invitation to perform and instead discourses on the history of escapology as he contemplates his own final and permanent disappearing act. Also waiting in the wings is August Stramm, pianistic abortion applying for the post of orchestra minion despite being hard of hearing; and Anatol Zentgraf, private scholar and maniacal reader who is the alleged epicenter of an earthquake. Added to this first English edition is Burger’s tale The Laughter Artist, an account of a nameless . . . .go to book page >>

The Employee

By Jacques Sternberg. Translated with introduction by Matt Seidel.

A nameless employee stands outside the door to an office, hesitating to enter because he is five minutes late. This banal opening then launches into a frenetic narrative that switches genres, modes and universes with abandon. From an account of his feral childhood with a nymphomaniacal mother, to his early development of a third arm and a second head, the employee unspools his subsequent life as department-store wrapper, ladder-descending bureaucrat, traveling salesman, murder suspect and other occupations. Years return and reverse through a series of inflicted hellscapes as a tension builds between an untrammeled imagination willing to commit any crime . . . .go to book page >>

Domesticity

By Joris-Karl Huysmans. Translated by George MacLennan.

Joris-Karl Huysmans’ semi-autobiographical third novel, first published in French in 1881, signaled the beginning of his break from the naturalism of mile Zola and his turn toward a new naturalism that laid out the negative consequences of determinism. Domesticity tells the tale of the novelist André Jayant and the artist Cyprien Tibaille, two men struggling between the urges of the body and the urges of the soul, and with the failure of matrimony or artistic endeavor to fulfill the needs of either. More than a psychological character study, though, Domesticity stands as one of the most memorable portraits of late 19th-century . . . .go to book page >>

The Messengers

By Georges-Olivier Châteaureynaud. Introduction and translation by Edward Gauvin.

An unnamed adolescent drifter wanders through an unnamed country at an unspecified point in time in search of warmth and comfort. He finds it at a farm engaged in festivities but is immediately forced to flee the next morning after coveting the mysterious lady of the estate. Now a fugitive, the vagabond encounters and joins with another, a wry middle-aged man tasked with delivering a message sealed in a tube. The two pursue a dreamlike chain of clues and horror in their mission, encountering—as well as perpetrating—crime and cruelty, until the boy’s former aimlessness develops into an unexpected destiny.
