Description:In common with a few fellow Frenchmen such as Robbe-Grillet and Simon, Michel Butor is known for his experiments with the novel. Niagara is no exception. It is a "new novel" -- unashamedly.The novel is set at Niagara Falls, and the action takes place during twenty-four hours -- or a year, depending on your time scale -- and deals with the various people who visit the tourist spot: honeymooners, the couple trying to recapture their honeymoon days, the Negro gardeners, the seducer, the frustrated, the lonely. Using a technique that owes much to the theater and even more to radio and sterephonic sound, Butor has achieved an unexpected synthesis of message and medium. Everyman is there, the whole human condition, and through the careful juxtaposition and blend of dialogue, commentary, and mood (provided by an 18th-century visitor, Viscount Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand), Butor encapsulates the quality of life: its inhumanity, its warmth; its selfishness, its kindliness; its arrogance, its humility.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
