The Jolas papers have also enabled the publication of Eugene Jolas's autobiography, Man From Babel, a project he abandoned in the 1940s and which has now been painstakingly reconstructed from fragments found in the new archives.
Maria Jolas led a similarly meaningful and dynamic life.
As Jolas recounts, "the by then inevitable approach of World War II made it no longer possible to concentrate on abstract laboratory problems, or to daydream about new forms in art and language." Instead, artists and writers were forced to confront the more concrete challenges associated with the rise of fascism.

 Review article: `Fools say' by Nathalie Sarraute, translated   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
I have discussed quotation as one form of metalanguage; one could perhaps argue that translation is another, and that the English version of ‘disent les imbéciles’ superimposes yet another layer of words onto the text.
It is a difficult novel to translate, not least because of the author’s fascination with the material, plastic qualities of words—precisely, words as physical objects.
Maria Jolas handles most of these beautifully—particularly her treatment of jaloux/jealous and régulier/clean-cut.

This exhibit had been organized by Bernard Gheerbrant, Maria Jolas and Lucie Léon, among others, with the prospect of selling the selected items that belonged to Joyce to benefit his family (1).
Oscar Silverman, who viewed the exhibit in the company of Maria Jolas, realized that such a relatively complete manuscript record complemented the Poetry Project’s aim of gathering "all the tangible sheets a poet uses in making a poem" and augmented Buffalo’s already well-established collection of manuscripts and variant printings (2).
Most of these items were not included in the first edition of the collection’s catalog as that was published before the arrival of this batch.
