FORTHCOMING

Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera, translation and notes by Mireille Ribière to be published by Penguin in the ‘Black Classics series’ in April 2012.

This translation, which is already available in the UK as a ‘Pocket Penguin Classic’, will be published with extensive notes.

LATEST

Georges Perec, En dialogue avec l’époque 1965–1981, edited by Dominique Bertelli and Mireille Ribière, published by Éditions Joseph K., in January 2012.

This collection of interviews is not meant to replace the complete edition in two volumes of Perec’s interviews and lectures (Entretiens et conférences, 2003), but to offer a sample of Perec’s comments on his work and show his development as an artist from 1965, when his first novel Les Choses was published, to late 1981, a few months before his death.
