The complete review 's Review Singular Pleasures offers 61 variations on that most common of singular pleasures. Across the ages, the world, the sexes, and the techniques Mathews' offers his descriptions of people paying their devotions to the great god Onan. It is not exactly masturbatory fantasy that Mathews' revels in (though, of course, it also is exactly that). Mathews merely describes the act and some of the attendant circumstances, in short pieces generally only some five and rarely more than fifteen lines in length. This is not arousing literature, though it certainly is voyeuristic. Many scenarios are imagined (though certainly there are possibilities that remain unexplored). The masturbators are young and old, male and female, alone, together, watchers or being watched, and many in unlikely, embarrassing, and occasionally dangerous locations when they go about their pleasuring business. There is little connection between the individual acts, spread across the globe as they are (from Christchurch, New Zealand to Alma Ata to near Valparaiso to Kyoto in one random but representative sequence).

Einige Gedichte von Harry Mathews Aus dem Englischen übersetzt von Johannes Beilharz Die Relikte Der treu ergebene Spion Wo sind die Messinginseln? Da sind die Messinginseln. Ihr gelber Weizen beugt sich nicht, und ihre Gipfel Klingen stumpf. Ihre Messinghäfen Am hellen Tag bringt in diesem Mattgold Sogar fast gelber Kupferschrott süße Erleichterung. Die Straßen sind steif vom Blinken und Klimpern Oder drahtverbundenen Lidern, ein taubes Klappern Von Messingfüssen, die auf Messing trommeln, Messingzähne, Messingtränen, Messingbrüste! In einer dieser Städte Fand ich einen Mop aus roten Lumpen, Ging aber nach Abschluß meiner Geschäfte. An die Farbe Wilder Mohn salzt den Ernteweizen Wie Gedenkbänder, rot unter Tubas. Die Schlacht Die Sonne ging rot wie Petersilie auf, Und mehrere schlecht genähte Trommeln Stießen Fischwolken durch das Gras aus, Dessen Nüstern wilden Rauch einsogen.

The Conversions AUTHOR: Mathews, Harry ISBN: 1564781666 Compare price for this book The Conversions - Book Review, by Mathews, Harry From the Publisher At a dinner party hosted by a wealthy New Yorker, a guest receives a gold adze, the coveted prize in a worm race. When the man dies the next day, he bequeaths, according to a stipulation in his will, the bulk of his fortune to the adze's possessor, provided he answer three mysterious questions relating to the artifact's history. In his search the owner encounters a menagerie of eccentric personalities: an ancient revolutionary in a Parisian prison, a ludicrous pair of gibberish-speaking brothers, and customs officials who spend their time reading contraband materials. He soon finds himself immersed in the centuries-long history of a persecuted religious sect and in an odyssey that begins in a forgotten fog-covered town in Scotland and ends on the ocean floor off the coast of an uncharted French island.

25. Book Review; Cigarettes By Harry Mathews By Alexander Laurence. http://www.ualberta.ca/~stefan/Oulipo/Laurence/hm-cbr.html

Cigarettes by Harry Mathews book review by Alexander Laurence Cigarettes by Harry Mathews Cigarettes appears to be Harry Mathews' most conventional novel. That is only because Mathews' experimental devices and his far off, imaginary locations are not a part of this work. Surely this work is nothing like the previous work, but it is as artistic as the others. This is the literature of the salon, of Marcel Proust and, shall I dare say it, Jane Austen? And if one does not read the name on the cover, it does seem to be the work of a woman writer, say Djuna Barnes or Jane Bowles, and of course Two Serious Ladies is mentioned and read in Mathews' book. Two Serious Ladies may be used as a way into this complex, labyrinthine work. Even though this novel may have some realistic qualities, (usually when we're dealing with Mathews, Realism is never a consideration, and language is of a main concern), it is a labyrinth of relationships of a group of people living in artistic New York in the 1950s and the 1960s. As opposed to Mathews' first novels, The Conversions and Tlooth where the imagination rules, the characters of

Cigarettes AUTHOR: Mathews, Harry ISBN: 1564782034 Compare price for this book Cigarettes - Book Review, by Mathews, Harry From the Publisher Cigarettes is a novel about the rich and powerful, tracing their complicated relationships from the 1930s to the 1960s, from New York City to Upper New York State. Though nothing is as simple as it might appear to be, we could describe this as a story about Allen, who is married to Maud but having an affair with Elizabeth, who lives with Maud. Or say it is a story about fraud in the art world, horse racing, and sexual intrigues. Or, as one critic did, compare it to a Jane Austen creation, or to an Aldous Huxley novel - and be right and wrong on both counts. From The Critics Edmund White This book is remarkable, as involving as a 19th-century saga and as original as any modernist inventiona rare combination of readability and ingenuity. In Cigarettes, Mathews has forged his most expressive style. Gilbert Sorrentino Cigarettes has the delicate yet rigorous architecture of latticework: if we concentrate on the light streaming through its apertures we are still attentive to its carpentry; if we focus on its geometry the light is, of needs, a constant presence. It is a triumph of the imagination. Ned Rorem Harry Mathews is the only American author I know whose utter originality does not erode his heart and his content. Cigarettes is odd, skillful, touching, wide, cultured, and engrossing.

27. Book Review; Our Beautiful Heroine By Jacques Roubaud And Cigarettes By Harry Ma Article by Alexander Laurence. http://www.ualberta.ca/~stefan/Oulipo/Laurence/hm-bookr1.html

Our Beautiful Heroine by Jacques Roubaud and Cigarettes by Harry Mathews book review by Alexander Laurence Our Beautiful Heroine By Jacques Roubaud translated by David Karnaker Overlook Press, $17.95 Cigarettes By Harry Mathews Since late last year, in October, when Georges Perec's LIFE: A User's Manual appeared, many people have wondered what the word "OULIPO" means. It sounds as if it is some type of atomic bomb, maybe it is? Oulipo stands for Ouvroir de Litterature Potentielle or Workshop of Potential Literature. Oulipo nevertheless begun in 1960, by the mathematician Francois Le Lionnais and novelist Raymond Queneau, as a experimental group devoted to writing that used mathematical formulas and linguistic games. This group valued the writing of some of the most eccentric, anti-mimetic, writers of the past: Laurence Sterne, Lewis Carroll, James Joyce, Ronald Firbank, Gertrude Stein, and of course Raymond Roussel. Roussel, the champion of the imagination, travelled all over the world, yet stayed locked in his room or in an ancient mobile home for fear that experience might impinge and influence his writing. Much more radical than their predecessors, Oulipo members would use more restricting rules to produce works. Harry Mathews suggests that this is a way of freedom of the imagination. Mathews, who detests the notion of automatic writing which he thinks is naive and impotent, once said that "why not write within a system of restraint (like a sonata), that the writer chooses beforehand, rather than be a slave of a system that one is ignorant of."

32. Dalkey Archive Press: An Interview With Harry Mathews By John Ashbery. http://www.centerforbookculture.org/interviews/interview_mathews_ashbery.html

An Interview with Harry Mathews By John Ashbery John Ashbery: One is supposed to ask questions about a writer's work, but I thought I would ask you about your life, which I know very little about. As so often with one's nearest and dearests, their biographies have enormous lacunae in them. I don't know, for instance, very much about why you went to Harvard when you did, or why you left it. I don't know why you studied music. I don't know why you went to Majorca. If I knew, I've forgotten all these things. Harry Mathews: I think it's very kind of you to assume why I did any of these things. I went to Harvard because I disliked Princeton so muchI spent a year and a half there. I didn't leave Harvard early; I actually finished. I think I did two years in a year and a half, or something like that. And I finished college because I thought how much it would upset my parents if I didn't. It was a last gesture to JA: I see, I didn't even know that you'd finished college, I thought you'd left. HM: I left Princeton, but I graduated Harvard, in 1952.

The Novels of Harry Mathews by Alexander Laurence If one wants to read and understand anything within the difficult fictions of Harry Mathews, it would be best that one have a knowledge of other intelligent novelists whose achievements equal that of Mathews. He often makes his readers aware of this lineage himself, those novelists which enlighten the reader intertextually: the list would include the European writers Alfred Jarry, Raymond Roussel, Italo Calvino, and Georges Perec. Mathews is not as obscure as he sounds. He has written four novels over the last thirty years, the most recent and less demanding was published this year: The Conversions Tlooth The Sinking Of Odradek Stadium , and Cigarettes . My purpose here is to show the relevance of Mathews' novels to other texts and the irrelevance of writing to reality, history, or the author. Frye also mentions the "place in literature" of each fictional works. He makes the complaint that neither history nor biography tells him what is literature. History does not explain what the sonnet form is, or where it came from. History does not explain the phenomenon of writing; it just gives us more facts to dispel the separation between fiction and reality. Writers such as Mathews have no relationship to historical events, but still his writing is significant. His writing could be political if that is any criterion. His refusal to make a political stance is Mathews' politics. The most original writing shuns all political concerns: Joyce, Quinn, Roussel, Roche, Sollers, and Mathews. This quality is distinctly Flaubertian. One man who has experienced life should be able to approach writings (
