The print depicts the Arc d'Triomphe as a shaped poem formed by collaged newsprint and calligraphic text. This Parisian structure is depicted facing the Avenue des Grandes Armees. The latter serves as a metaphor for part of an ejaculate from another of the print, viz., a penis shaped from collaged newsprint & calligraphic text that is a metaphor for the young revolutionaries in the May 1968 student led rebellion in France. Texts in the poem support the May 1968 action against the government. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Aunt Rachel's Fur, 2001

Item

Identifier: CC-39559-41517

Scope and Contents From Publishers Weekly review. "Novelist R"šmond Namredef, the narrator of this endlessly inventive and unorthodox fiction, is on his way back to France after having lived in the United States for 10 years. R"šmond is not returning in the role of the rich American, although he claims to have a wealthy American girlfriend, Susan. In the U.S., it seems, he supported himself through a series of odd jobs, among them one as a jazz musician. These autobiographical details are imparted by R"šmond to a "professional listener" in a number of cafes in Paris. Federman has adopted Raymond Roussel's trick of telling a story for the sake of its digressions. The digressions here include R"šmond's childhood, his life in hiding from the Nazis during the occupation, his multitudinously scheming extended family and his Aunt Rachel's legendary existence. Aunt Rachel escaped from the orphanage in which R"šmond's mother, Marguerite, was also kept and proceeded to enjoy a mysterious international career....

Wikipedia: José Antonio "Tony" Burciaga (1940 - October 7, 1996) was a Chicano artist, poet, and writer who explored issues of Chicano identity and American society. In 1960 Burciaga joined the United States Air Force. After spending a year in Iceland, where he wrote extensively as part of his job, he was sent to Zaragoza, Spain, for three years. There he discovered the work of Spanish poet, Federico García Lorca. After completing his military service, he earned a B.A. in fine arts from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1968 and started work as an illustrator and graphic artist, first in Mineral Wells, Texas (an experience he later recorded in an "Hispanic Link" column called "Mineral Wells--A Near and Distant Memory"), and then in Washington, D.C., where he began his participation in the Chicano movement and where he met Cecilia Preciado, whom he married in 1972.
