Lindon published the work of Samuel Beckett, Marguerite Duras, and Robbe-Grillet, among so many other giants. This voice-driven ramble recounts in candid, understated, and hilarious glimpses Echenoz's encounters with his publisher over a period of twenty years, and in the process reveals an intimate portrait of both of them. Echenoz's spare, lyrical, and playful descriptions of early-morning phone calls and exchanges over lunch illuminate Lindon's impulsiveness and impatience, his matter-of-fact generosity, and the humanity beneath his gruff exterior. In his unassuming way, Echenoz's lets us in on how his own literary path was shaped by Jerome Lindon's belief in him and explores the deep bonds between a writer and his publisher. A tender tribute.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Echenoz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1962770699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781962770699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Archipelago Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/20\/2026","brand":"Jean Echenoz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874531029247,"sku":"9781962770699","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jzsrzcme-lindon-jean-echenoz-9781962770699","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
