Raymond Federman

The poetry included in 'To Whom It May Concern' reveals a wealth of mixed and meaningful messages that express the depths of our being and life as a whole in an attempt to get something across to the world.

"Aunt Rachel's Fur is a novel about its own telling, an intimate meeting between voice and reader. Remond Namredef, a French expatriate, has returned to France after a disastrous decade in America, with the hope of publishing his novel about a novelist and 365 boxes of pasta. In a cafe in Paris, he meets a "professional listener," and, through a series of conversations, offers a loose account of his life that shows little respect for chronology. Federman's story is woven of fragments, branching out over a lifetime. His narrative spirals into a temporal abyss as he rummages in old memories marked with cabbages, plump breasts and the Final Solution. Aunt Rachel's Fur is aswirl with the narrative innovations that distinguish Federman as a leading experimental surfictioneer."--BOOK JACKET.
