	Channeling Durrati: CLAUDE SIMON
		Claude Simon was born in Tananarive, on the island of Madagascar, off the east coast of Africa.
		Simon's father, an army officer, was killed in 1914 in World War I. His childhood Simon spent in the city of Perpignan, near the Spanish border, where he was raised by his mother and her family.
		Simon's picture of the Spanish Civil War and of the intellectual idealists who wanted to find an ideologically clear reason in the fight against oppression, shapes itself into a version, at once grotesque and tragic, compassionate and ironic, of war's reality and of man's inability to guide his fate and correct his conditions.

	Claude Simon
		Claude Simon, the French novelist who has died aged 91, was one of the foremost exponents of le nouveau roman, the "new novel" style of the 1950s and 1960s which rejected the literary conventions of plot, narration and character development.

		Simon, the first Frenchman to be awarded the Nobel prize for Literature since 1964, when Jean-Paul Sartre turned it down, reacted to the announcement of the award by saying that he would use the money to repair the roof of his house.

	Obituary: Claude Simon \| Obituaries \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		To the end of his life, even after he had won the Nobel prize for literature in 1985, Claude Simon, who has died aged 91, asked that his profession be recorded as that of viticulteur, or grape farmer, and not that of writer.
		Simon spent time in a PoW camp, but got out, retreated to his home ground in the then unoccupied Midi and began writing his first novel, Le Tricheur (The Cheat), which was finished in 1941, though not published until after the war.
		All Simon's novels are, as narratives, accounts of how events as they evolve always defeat or deflect human purposes, and the more hopeful those purposes are, the more scandalous and inevitable is their frustration.

	Claude Simon Criticism
		[In Simon's] novels the rich sensuality and luxuriance of physical detail, the delicate arrangement of mass and shadow, the melancholy but often sumptuous appraisal of man's fleeting destiny turn the passageways of what might seem arid research into stretches of pure enjoyment.
		Claude Simon has not reached the magnitude of Butor or Robbe-Grillet, despite the fact that his last two books, Le Vent and L'Herbe, were generally praised by the critics and translated [widely]….
		There is no doubt that his technique is not as geometrically defined as Robbe-Grillet's, nor has he invented a gimmick as striking as that of Butor's La Modification, nor can any one of his works be summed up in a term as clear-cut as that of "subconversation," used to des...

		He became known as a major representative of the nouveau roman that emerged in the 1950s, although Simon's ideas of metaphor, history, and storytelling were rejected by the purists of the movement.
		Georges becomes sexually involved with the beautiful Corinne after the war, and Simon juxtaposes scenes of Georges lying in a field as a prisoner with scenes of postwar sex with Corinne.
		In his youth Simon was influenced by the aesthetic theories of painter Raoul Dufy, who stated that "one must be able to give up the painting one wanted to do for the painting that demands to be painted." Simon himself clarified pnce that he approaches writing with an emphasis on artistic composition of language.

	HISTORY AND FORMALISM IN THE WRITING OF CLAUDE SIMON
		This point is important because it gives us reason to suspect that Simon's writing in his formalist novels is not totally constrained by the premises of self-generation and that therefore it does not sever all ties with the question of representation.
		Simon's period of intense formal experimentation is thus deemed a "flight from history" with the publication of
		Since paintings are framed objects par excellence and constitute the primary model for all reflections on the question of framing, their introduction within a literary text foregrounds not only the frame that painting draws around itself but also the additional frame that writing imposes on painting.

		As Simon's experimental anti-war novel begins, a prominent Jacobin and French general, identified only as "L.S.M.," writes home from the front, giving the caretaker of his estate elaborate instructions on how to tend to hedges and horses.
		Simon intercuts epochs and wars; he makes History a chief character, personified as a fiendish trickster.
		This difficult novel, for which Simon won the 1985 Nobel Prize for Literature, is encumbered by extremely long and complex sentences, endless paragraphs and a hyper-associative style.

	Dalkey Archive Press: Claude Simon
		This 1987 novel by Nobel Prize-winner Claude Simon is a sardonic look at glasnost Russia, where recent reforms and improvements carry all the conviction of rouge on a corpse.
		"Simon, still virtually unknown in this country, here confirms his alchemy by transforming this kind of leaden non-event, through which our leaders bore us into overlooking their crimes, into the gold of pure perception, playing with history in a way that retaliates for the way it has toyed with us.
		As in all of Simon's books, the reader is challenged by a densely textured, orchestral, convoluted style that successfully conveys that state of semiconsciousness.

	Blind spots and afterimages: The narrative optics of Claude Simon's Triptyque Romanic Review - Find Articles
		In fact, Simon ends Orion aveugle with a vivid evocation of visual perception: the drawing of an eye accompanied by the description of images sliding onto the retinal membrane.
		In keeping with the abstracting, objectifying nature of scientific presentation, the engraving labels various body parts with small, precisely typeset letters and numerals-a's and b's around the eye, a lower-case g on the ear and an upper-case G on the lips, small numbers on the bands of muscle.
		With its combination of anatomical precision and graphic pulse, the Simonian eye is caught between the abstraction of discourse and the bodilyness of a living subject's experience-an opposition that encapsulates the distinction between a classical, objective Cartesian optics and the subjective study of phenomenological vision.

		Claude Simon won the Nobel Prize for literature and is routinely listed as one of the greatest authors of the last century, but he doesn't seem to have found much of a readership in the English-speaking world.
		Simon's narratives are written as a kind of Proustian reverie, endlessly circulating around a set of recurring memories: a traumatic scene, a glimpsed image, an overheard fragment of conversation etc. In Proust one memory triggers another or a commentary or another idea.
		Simon was influenced by Faulkner and if you know novels like LIGHT IN AUGUST then Simon's juxtapositions of place, time and perspective will seem quite familiar.

		Reputed to be a conservative group, the Nobel Prize committee astonished the world in 1985 by giving its prize to Claude Simon, one of the most adventurous and challenging of modern authors whose writing defies easy classification.

	IS CLAUDE SIMON A POSTMODERN WRITER
		During the period that interests us here Simon’s writing was, in the words of the author, informed by a “projet de faire un roman irréductible à tout schéma réaliste” (1977:424), a project which would lead him to probe the limits and the aporias of our conceptions of the relations between words and things.
		Leçon de Choses Simon’s probing of the question of representation takes a radically different form, which is obvious from its opening lines.
		I am proposing that we read Simon’s use of an “objective” style as an inscription of the analytic ideal of a perfectly transparent instrument of communication, and his techniques for dissipating the illusion of representation as an inscription of the Continental position.
