Description
The first English translation of Copis comic masterpiece, a careening pyrotechnic picaresque across France, America, and Ibiza.Set among the flamboyant demi-monde of the 1970s Paris underground, The Queens Ball follows the narrator Copi in his attempt to write a novel as life comes undone around him. His Roman lover Pietro is stolen by a Marilyn Monroe impersonator whose coterie take up residence in Copis flat and pump out low-budget pornographic rags and films. His friends leave him, burnt out from the theatrical excess of the decade. And worst of all his editor keeps calling him, demanding to know where the book is. Propelled by Copis careening prose and incisive humor, The Queens Ball swerves from Paris to Ibiza to New York and back again in a whirlwind frenzy of love, loss, and madness. Featuring an illuminating critical appendix by Copis current French editor, Thibaud Croisy, Kit Schluters rhapsodic translation marks the début of Copis world-renowned fiction in English.
