Letters to Eugène
Hervé Guibert's incandescent correspondence with Belgian poet Eugène Savitzkaya. In 1977, Hervé Guibert discovered the first novel written by Eugène Savitzkaya, Mentir, and sent him his La mort propagande, which had just been published. In the following years, they exchanged the books they had written, read each other, appreciated each other. They saw each other rarely, however: one lived in Liège, the other Paris. A turning point occurred in 1982, when Hervé published "Lettre à un frère d’écriture," in which he declared to Eugène, "I love you through your writing." The tone had changed; Hervé, obsessed with his correspondent, wrote him increasingly incandescent letters. 1984 wo...

Rules of Solitude
Poetry. Prose. Translation. "'Radiant as the helix, perishable as the potato,' the prose poems in RULES OF SOLITUDE require you to read slowly -- but not for its syntactical complexity. The very simplicity of the language points to something bigger, starker and more beautiful lurking beyond the page. This book explores the interconnectedness of the universe and individual isolation.

Among his published works are several books of poetry and seven novels. Translated from the French by Gian Lombardo.

In Life
Fiction. Translated from the French by Andrew Colpitts. Your life consists of passing time, and time passes around you. Walls chip, and you paint them. Weeds flourish, and you pull them. Throughout IN LIFE Eugène Savitzkaya sifts lyrically through our daily comings and goings, through decay and renovation. Pruning trees, scaling fish, washing windows, ironing and eating are among the myriad tasks surveyed in this book. Even urinating and defecating have their just place in the melee of the day-to-day. IN LIFE is a meditation on the quotidian, the circadian rhythms of life that sustain us and dissolve us. With piercing acuity Savitzkaya pays tribute to those actions that consume the lion's share of our waking hours.
Fou trop poli
« Par son caractère foisonnant de tentative d’écriture de toute une vie, Fou trop poli peut être, si l’on veut, un roman. Mais, par la brièveté ainsi que par la densité des chapitres, c’est aussi de la poésie sans vers. Du théâtre sans représentation. Une autobiographie fuyante. Un pamphlet merveilleux. Un tombeau sans douleur. Une douleur sans tombeau. C’est aussi un jeu presque oulipien avec le vocabulaire où pourtant se reconnaît à chaque pas la riche personnalité terrestre et terrienne de ce Wallon de Liège et Bruxellois d’Uccle qu’est Eugène Savitzkaya. Eugène, autrement dit le bien né, fête ici, en littérature, "cinquante années de folie", en décharge...
