Minnelli: Two new translations (now online)
* * * Updated post with links to the texts via Google Book Search * * *
Surprise New Year present!
Joe McElhaney just announced via the comments on the last blog entry that his upcoming book Vincente Minnelli: The Art of Entertainment will contain new translations (by Bill Krohn) of two Daney articles:
The Pirate isn't just decor
Originally published as 'Pirate n'est pas que décor' in Libération on 15 October 1988 and republished in Devant la recrudescence des vols de sacs à main, Aleas, 1991.
Minnelli caught in his web
Originally published as Minnelli pris dans sa toile' in Libération on 21 October 1988 and republished in Devant la recrudescence des vols de sacs à main, Aleas, 1991.
With several others translations coming soon, 2009 is starting well!
I've seen this book and read some of it. It is quite an achievement. Exceptional for its scope, including Minnelli criticism from the 60's all the way to Ranciere and other exciting writers of today. Let's hope McElhaney edits more like this!
