		Michel Butor produces book-objects where the typographic content seeks to steal the leading role from the kaleidoscope of raw life itself, of memory and of meaning.
		Michel Butor came up with the idea of, in own terms, fable cards: fl-and-white folding flyers that would serve as supports for a dialogue to be carried out between a writer-poet and a painter-artist.
		Butor in turn travelled through Joly's scenery, sowing white little fragments of paper bearing the kind of exclamations, assertions, advisory and acquiescent remarks made by people awaiting their flight call: his comments reflect the traveller's waiting line attitude, his anticipation of the trip ahead, his superficial self-awareness in the padded chaos particular to airports.

	Library of Congress Information Bulletin - February 19, 1996
		Michel Butor has long been in the forefront of French writers who have collaborated with leading artists to produce books that are important for their artifactual as well as intellectual value.
		Butor came to prominence in the 1950s with his early novels and his association with the New Novelists, writers whose technical experimentations with the literary novel form constituted the most important French literary phenomenon of the 1950s and early 1960s.
		Butor's work has been characterized more as texts rather than novels and has been done in collaboration with artists, working with the visual and even tactile composition and perception of a text along with its intellectual aspects.

		Michel Butor has for a long time been regarded as one of the principal practitioners of the Nouveau roman.
		This is essentially because his novels stress the conscious reintegration of the individual subject with ‘his’ cultural heritage, rather than the radical subversion of that culture by a body of new texts.
		Butor is writing a representation of Delmont’s representation, but since the text contains nothing extraneous to the latter’s perspective, there is no obvious difference between the two levels.

		Butor situates his writing outside the tradition of the nouveau roman and outside postmodernism, placing himself in the tradition of Rabelais, Montaigne, Pound, and Joyce, whose erudition and love of language infused their work with remarkable originality.
		Butor himself worked with the editor and translator of this first English version of Transformation of Writing on questions of translation and annotation.

		First published in 1967, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Ape may well be one of the most captivating works about the growth of a writer's imagination.

	Michel Butor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Michel Butor is a French post-World War II writer.
		Journalists and critics associated his novels with the "nouveau roman," but Butor himself has long (and rightly) resisted that association.
		The main point of similarity is a general one: like the exponents of the "nouveau roman," he can be described as an experimental writer, and his early books were indeed in the tradition of the novel.

		In the wide history of combinatory literature and pre-computerized poetry, Michel Butor's Kit for a Don Juan occupies a relatively ambiguous position.
		The method used here is far inspired by those of genetic critics: it is intended to establish the process through which, by diverse kinds of manipulation of cards, the author produced the series of verses the lector reads as a set of poems.
		This inadequacy appears to be the key concept of what we would describe as the new textuality (and consequently the new legibility) of generative matrix works.

	La main sur le mur
		Michel Butor first became known as the figurehead of the 'Nouveau roman', but recently he has only been writing poetry.
		That collection is typical for Butor's ideas, as he considers 'the short form' of poetry a great advantage in such hasty times: 'Poetry is the haiku of daily life'.

		Michael Spencer's dense and perceptive little book on Michel Butor has at its centre 'la notion de site ou de lieu ""réel" et vécu; le livre-objet et surtout la page comme foyer de rencontres textuelles; le livre aussi comme site d'intertextualité, de traduction et de réécriture' (9).
		These two analyses are particularly detailed and specific, ranging in the first from descriptions of Butor's mise en page, which exploits typographic variants (italics, roman, capitals), variable margins, the architectonic arrangement of interrelated blocks of text corresponding to specific structural and thematic materials, through Joseph Frank, spatial form, and postmodernism.
		As the reader 'learns' (creates) in reading the text, so does the author, his own first reader, participate in the pedagogical project which is the text.

		On Tuesday, October 12, 1954, Pierre Vernier, a teacher in a Paris lycée, begins setting down an account that is to be a complete record of the life lived by himself, his students, and his fellow teachers.
		Degrees is an extraordinary novel exposing one man¹s obsessive project, the impossibility of its completion, and the damaging effect this obsession has on both Vernier and those who surround him.
		By rejecting metaphor, emotion, most of the visceral, human content of the older novel, it looks comparatively empty; but it¹s also obvious that this emptying-out was necessary for it to achieve--rather like an abstract painting--its own special density.²

		For this first publication, a deliberate choice was made for a multidisciplinary approach: a confrontation with four authors, each presenting their views on music based on their own specific backgrounds.
		In Writing for musicians (Ecrire pour les musiciens) author Michel Butor presents a highly individual reflection on the potential relations between language and music.
		Based on his own work and examples from history, he illustrates how intensely - and often in very surprising ways - the two phenomena are interwoven with each other, not only in songs and opera, but also in purely instrumental music.
