5 MY LIFE IN CIA: A CHRONICLE OF 1973 (DALKEY ARCHIVE PRESS) Harry Mathews's new novel is based on true events from his life in Paris during the year 1973, when he joined the experimental literary group Oulipo and unwittingly earned a reputation as an undercover CIA agent. She also utilizes arbitrary mechanisms promoted by the French avant-garde Oulipo school and enriches her repertoire with deliberate malaprops and spoonerisms. On the other hand, the collaborative, cadavre exquis-like execution and self-aggrandizing hyperbole (the novel took two years to finish, filled with "thirty-six bleary-eyed howling dinners of beer and cocaine") clearly summon both yesteryear's avant-garde and more recent experimental projects by Oulipo. |
