The fourth volume in a history of photography, this is a bibliography of books on the subject.
El primer volumen de esta antología se dedica a los mitos —aquellos que narran la historia de los primeros creadores, de tiempos ancestrales y de cuando las criaturas y los creadores compartían un solo lenguaje—, los reyes —dioses, héroes o líderes civilizadores que forman el mundo en una dimensión histórica— y los dueños —nahuales, rayos, centellas y otros seres extraordinarios que se dejan ver por los humanos y les regalan dones o enfermedades—.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
