Bartleby: When was your home based publishing and why giving him that name?
Valerie Millet toad Publishing was founded in 2005. Why this name? For Mallarme, for toads, for sound, noise and music that evokes, because he had never been given a publishing house ...
Why was this house?
To circumvent the dictates imposed by commercial and editorial for which I worked to sustain texts that marked me and had disappeared from bookstores to choose from.
What is your editorial?
> publish new texts and texts forgotten or ignored worthy to live or live again, to be discovered or recovered.
> edit some titles, but accompany them long enough they find their readers. Works to which we return and with whom we live. In short, the opposite of over-production and consumer literature.
> add to the pleasure of discovering the texts to read books made with care.
Can you tell us about your catalog?
Our catalog shows a few dominant - travel, music - that have emerged as and when published. Others will arise depending on meetings that we will, our readings, our visits to libraries, our library research ... What interests us is the vocation of literature and disturbing question: yesterday or today, here or elsewhere, French or any other language. In this same idea that we created last year Petite Collection for texts that may exist too short to be published in a large but not too big to be edited.
What's your news?
We published three new titles for October: The Boss
Maxim Gorky: autobiography, The Patron is the memory of a winter spent in a biscuit factory in the city of Kazan, where the workers live under the thumb of Vassili Semenof, irritable and brutal boss. Account of the meeting of two men who never will understand, the confrontation of two worlds, those few months shared with workers bullied by an employer will determine alcoholic who would become one of the pioneers of Russian social literature.
Avatar Theophile Gautier: novella published in serial form in 1856, Avatar is one of his most accomplished. Octavius de Saville died of desperate love - but not hope - for the Countess Prascovia Labinski. When the doctor returned from India invited him to share his body envelope against the husband of the countess, Octavian believes finally achieve his goal. But this view ignores a woman knows a soul in the flames of a manhole and that flying a body to impose an alien spirit is a vain illusion.
Soothe dust of Tabish Khair , translated from English by Blandine Longre. Mangal Singh, a failed writer, bus driver line-Phansa Gaya, two cities in the Indian state of Bihar, broods its bitterness and observes the passengers on board that day. Individuals from different cultures and diverse backgrounds, whose routes are intertwined time travel. Along dusty roads, the thoughts of each pass and still no one imagine that the event will force the bus to stop halfway, a little longer than expected. Born in 1966 in India, Tabish Khair is a poet, journalist and professor of literature at the University of Aarhus, Denmark. Allay the dust is his first novel translated into French.
Then in November, published two new titles in the Petite Collection:
For or against tobacco? : in 1890 for its tenth anniversary, the newspaper The Tobacco - independent bimonthly for the glory of the "grass Nicot - tops the polls as part of the Paris literary, artistic, scientific and mundane: "Are you for or against smoking? "The diversity of responses to a hundred people - including Joris-Karl Huysmans, Pierre Loti, Stephane Mallarme, Hector Malot or Jules Verne for the literary world - illustrates with humor and finesse the intensity of a debate more than ever current a century later.
From Danger ignorance, Victor Hugo, preface by Marie-Noel Rio in November 1848, Victor Hugo ascended the tribune of the Constituent Assembly to protest a budget cut threatens the arts, humanities and science. Point of economy on intelligence, that is the leitmotif of his speech. Sell out because culture is sabotaging the glory of the nation, destroy the fabric of society, debase the people. Now only the "enthusiastic encouragement of a great government" can fight against these dangers, today as yesterday.
