Mark Axelrod
Balzac's Coffee, DaVinci's Ristorante Paperback Book
In Mark Axelrods new book, marketplace crudity and the immortal artist intersect in a riotous and outrageous fashion. Discover the chain of restaurants run by Flauberts researchers Bouvard and Pecuchet how an iconic fragrance arose from the erectile dysfunction of J.S. Bach where Octave Mirabeau consummated his masterpiece LErotic Biblion General Pinochet and Borgess contretemps involving olive oil Faulkners stint tinkering with lawnmowers Musils muesli and other secret histories. A companion to Axelrods Borgess Travel, Hemingways Garage (FC2), this book is an hilarious parody of literary trivia, a lighthearted satire on the commoditisation of art, and an irresistible, imaginative fancy.Mark Axelrod is one of my favourite American authors, blackly humorous and insightful, able to work with social and political critique without being in the least bit sanctimonious or pamphletary. Axelrods writing is a panoply of novel ideas, surprisingly and elating, extremely intelligent. I admire his ability to play, not only with words, but also the baggage of culture, in a style that bridges American and Latin American approaches to literature. Luisa ValenzuelaBorges Travel, Hemingways Garage is a whimsical collection focused on the imaginary commercial lives of debtridden cultural heroes desperate to stave off bankruptcy. In a humorous, deadpan style, Axelrod reports on the philosophical quarrels between Leibniz and Newton that fueled the competition between dueling cookie franchises...
