In his second novel, Newspaper, the acclaimed writer, photographer,
and artist Edouard Levé made perhaps his most radical attempt to remove
himself from his own work. Made up of fictionalized newspaper articles,
arranged according to broad sections--some familiar, some
not--Newspaper gives us a tour of the modern world as reported by its
supposedly impartial chroniclers. Much of this news is quite sad, some
is funny, but the whole serves as a gory parody of the way we have been
taught to see our lives and the lives of our fellow human beings.
