Conversation of the Three Wayfarers

Conversation of the Three Wayfarers is a tale overheard, rather than told directly. Abel, Babel, and Cabel, the wayfarers, carry on a three-sided monologue, each reporting curious incidents-the effect is of three capers rolled into one: a steeplechase performed on a floating pontoon. But are they really three distinct individuals? Why do their lives blend in such a fantastic manner? Weiss's strikingly original prose has an impossibly contained quality, with each sentence doing a perfect double-double backflip before neatly landing. This essential rediscovered work, from the masterful and acclaimed German modernist Peter Weiss, will be a delightful discovery for readers of Kafka, Musil, and Gombrowicz.

Think of Lampedusa

“Defiantly elegant. It is elegy and evocation, a summoning of the dead as a chorus speaking to those who do not see, or do not care, to remind them of the consciousness of Earth and of history’s will to life, and the ordering of change. . . . The poet’s hand is essential to our redemption.”-Afaa M. Weaver, author of The Plum Flower Dance and Multitudes   “I can’t help but be moved by this large ambition of JosuÉ GuÉbo, by his impossible task of bringing together poetics as different as those of Whitman and MallarmÉ, by his huge desire to give a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves and also to find the secret of lyric utterance.”-Ilya Kaminsky, author of Dancing in Odessa and Musica Humana
