Excess--The Factory
No Customer Reviews
IIn 1968, Leslie Kaplan, a young American poet living in France, went to work in a factory. This was the Maoist practice of tablissement, an effort toward helping form a revolutionary proletariat core. Excess--The Factory is about those years, about working class resistance to capitalism, about the possibility of a worker-led revolution, and about the '68 general strike in France. It has struck many readers (including French luminaries Maurice Blanchot and Marguerite Duras) as a unique event in writing, at once legendary and all but lost to history. This long overdue translation in English by Julie Carr and Jennifer Pap, true to the original's spare, descriptive tone, returns the book and its complex moment to new readers.
