Sally Mara's Intimate Journal (häftad, eng)
- Fri frakt
Produktbeskrivning
The everyday language is, of course, English, but she is writing in ‘newly-learned’ French to impress her beloved and just departed French tutor, a professional polyglot linguist. To impress him even more, she decides to learn Irish in order to write a novel of some kind in Irish.
However, the action throughout is determined by Sally’s resolution to overcome her ignorance of the mysteries of sex and reproduction.
The often sensual and dark humour of Sally Mara’s Journal intime is founded on language and
languages, so this translation, while prioritizing clarity, aims to maintain ‘Frenchness’, tinged of course
with Dublinese.
Surprisingly, for a French author, Irish words and phrases occur throughout; these are
not translated but, like some challenging French phrases, are supported by footnotes.
In 1949, when Raymond Queneau wrote Journal intime, published anonymously under the
pseudonym Sally Mara, he was, as always, greatly influenced by James Joyce and fascinated by the
limitations of language.
He was also in need of the ready money provided by Éditions du Scorpion,
publishers of erotic and violent pulp fiction, and of Journal intime.
