{"product_id":"the-book-of-margins","title":"The Book of Margins","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe death of Edmond Jabs in January 1991 silenced one of the most compelling voices of the postmodern  post-Holocaust era. Jabss importance as a thinker  philosopher  and Jewish theologian cannot be overestimated  and his enigmatic stylecombining aphorism  fictional dialogue  prose meditation  poetry  and other formsholds special appeal for postmodern sensibilities.  In The Book of Margins  his most critical as well as most accessible book  Jabs is again concerned with the questions that inform all of his work: the nature of writing  of silence  of God and the Book. Jabs considers the work of several of his contemporaries  including Georges Bataille  Maurice Blanchot  Roger Caillois  Paul Celan  Jacques Derrida  Michel Leiris  Emmanuel Lvinas  Pier Paolo Pasolini  and his translator  Rosmarie Waldrop. This book will be important reading for students of Jewish literature  French literature  and literature of the modern and postmodern ages.  Born in Cairo in 1912  Edmond Jabs lived in France from 1956 until his death in 1991. His extensively translated and widely honored works include The Book of Questions and The Book of Shares. Both of these were translated into English by Rosmarie Waldrop  who is also a poet.
