The 16 essays began as submissions peer-reviewed and selected for the 37th French Literature Conference, apparently sponsored by the series; no date or location is cited. Of the eight that are in English, the topics include three parodies of Misanthropie et repentir, Prosper Mřimě's hoax ethos, the anxiety of influence in Irma Vep, Deleuze and Cadiot on Robinson Crusoe and capitalism, and the selection of sources for Raymond Queneau's Le Chiendent. No index is provided. The price is converted from euros, so is subject to fluctuation. Annotation 2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
