Synopsis
America as few have seen it Writer, painter, poet, translator and passionate surrealist, Guy Ducornet is known throughout France for his excellent translations, his activities as a surrealist, and his outstanding gallery shows. He spent a decade as a potter in a medieval village in the Loire Valley, and has been an active participant in the surrealist movement since the 1960s, working within both the Chicago Surrealist Group and the PHASES movement in Paris. In 1959-1960 he attended Bard College; Ralph Ellison, author of the Invisible Man, was his thesis advisor. He completed his studies in his native France at the Sorbonne, and his thesis was the first to be written on Ellison. He began his career teaching in the newly independent Algeria (1963-1966), and he has taught French Language and Literature at Bard, and throughout the US, Canada and France. "Ducornet's adventures in America offer a unique perspective on American life; his exotic role as Frenchman in the US allowed him to become an "invisible man" of another sort. While he was treated as a special case-a Fulbright scholarship student visiting America for the first time-his confrontations with the diverse aspects of American culture were constantly inflamed by his innocent insistence on civil rights and equality for people of all races. "Hitchhiking down the East Coast, drudge work at a plush hotel, washing dishes, playing saxophone in his own band, or hiring on at no charge to help an African-American truck driver in the South, Ducornet agitates his own imagination to wring from these occurrences new insights into the alleged 'good life' in America. "This is one of the most compelling travel accounts I have ever read, and while words like "page-turner" and "riveting" are usually reserved for mysteries and thrillers, that's exactly the way I felt when I first read this book in one sitting." Book jacket.
