Mainstream United
I'm representing modern Israeli Russian-speaking writer Jonathan Vidgop. This author's first book was granted fund of Israeli president and received recognition in Israel in 1999. The author writes rarely. There are two very different books offered. One, a result of 20 years of collecting historical material, is a collection of more than 100 very funny short stories of sexuality and attitude to Jews of famous personalities of different countries and times. The other book, very recent, is a a grotesque phantasmagoria, novel "Testimony", whose style, if any, can be compared to Susskind's Perfume. See description of the books below.

June 2000Dante und der Hummer
Gesammelte Prosa
by Samuel Beckett, Erika Tophoven, Elmar Tophoven, Christian Enzensberger, Wolfgang Hildesheimer
"Es beginnt mit einem Scherz. Im November 1930 stellt Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) den Romanisten des Trinity College in Dublin einen Dichter namens Jean du Chas vor, den es nicht gibt. Mit parodierter Bildungshuberei und selbstverliebten Formulierungskünsten, die durch Sarkasmus gesteigert und in Schach gehalten werden, weist dieser Text auf Becketts ersten, postum veröffentlichten Roman »Traum von mehr bis minder schönen Frauen« voraus, der 1932 in Paris entstand, sowie auf den Erzählzyklus »Mehr Prügel als Flügel« aus dem Jahr 1934 (aus dem zwei Erzählungen aufgenommen wurden). Am Schluß der chronologisch nach dem Zeitpunkt des Entstehens geordneten Sammlung steht Immer noch nicht mehr, des Autors letzter Prosatext, geschrieben zwischen 1986 und 1988: fast Szene in der Reduziertheit des Raums und der Bewegungen; fast Gedicht in seinem Kreisen, Variieren, Wiederholen. »Eines Nachts als er den Kopf auf den Händen am Tisch saß sah er sich aufstehen und gehen.« Dante und der Hummer (so heißt die erste Erzählung aus Mehr Prügel als Flügel) macht alles, was in den Werken, in Einzelausgaben und sonst verstreut von Becketts kürzerer erzählender Prosa auf deutsch erschienen ist, zum ersten Mal in einem Band verfügbar -dazu drei kleine deutsche Erstveröffentlichungen: »Das Bild«, »weder noch« und »Wie soll man sagen«."
