‎Correspondance d’édition à propos d’un projet de publication en français du premier livre d’Hamony Korine chez Hachette Littératures : A Crack-up at the Race Riots.‎

‎Dossier contenant 7 fax et 7 mails imprimés sur feuilles A4. 1er fax (de Michel Bulteau), 20-VIII-00 : « Dear Harmony Korine, The fact is I wanted to publish a translation of ‘A Crack-up at the Race Riots’. Because, since three months, I’m the editor, at Hachette Littératures, responsible of all the novels department. But I’ve learned – the day you suddenly left Paris – I was at the gallery near after your leaving – Impossible to talk with you about the project. Jonas Mekas, who was there, told me “what a pity !” – Anyway, the gallery staff insisted they’ve just sold the rights of your novel to a small press in Marseille. Why not ? In this town, they cut off the right leg of Arthur Rimbaud. But that’s one of my regret. Not the Rimbaud’s leg but the escape of ‘A Crack-up’. I hope hearing of you. » 25-VIII-00, réponse par mail : « i am finishing a new book very much different than my last. also i have one here that is strange that i have been finished. with that i have not let any one read. i want to put this one out on a smaller publisher, than Doubleday because the structure and content is more extreme. perhaps you can tell me more about what you do. 29-VIII-00, fax : Dear Harmony, Thanks for your quick and precise answer. Can you send me a copy of this new book (the very strange one) – ‘structure and content more extreme’ sounds interesting to me. Mail it at my personal address. » 6-X-00, mail : « tell me your publishing companies name. and tell me what exactly you would like to do with this unconventional novel of mine. also can you specify the amount of books you would plan on printing up, i know its hard for you to say without reading it, but just give me an estimate of the largest possible printing, also how much money would you give to me for the rights ? also it must first be printed in english. im sorry to ask you these questions, its just my memory is bad (…). » 7-X-00, fax : « Dear H. K., I change the covers. I don’t want photos. I want types, words and color. I didn’t recei-ve anything from you. Remember ‘The Job’ (by W. S. B) was first published in Paris (and naturally in French) in 1969 and only seven years later – enlarged, right – by Grove Press. To hear from you. » 28-X-00, mail : « ok let me start putting it together for completion. send me your address please. also it would be nice if perhaps you could send me one or two of the books you’ve previously published, just so i can get a sense of what they look like. if things look and gell well then i don’t see why we cant put my new book together in fine fashion. » 28-X-00, mail, object : ‘Books from Hachette and my pulsating cock in someones arse hole as I wait on you to finish !’ : « i am eagerly anticipating your translation. i have a brand new beautiful cover designed especially for this translation of yours. send anything to my address. » Sans date, fax : « Dear Harmony, No news from you since… a long time. Do you abandon the project of sending me a manuscript ? Have you finished your new book ? The translation of ‘A Crack-up’, still not appeared in France. I’m gonna send you a new and complete translation of ‘Tarantula’ by Bob Dylan. » 26-IV-01, mail : sorry about the manuscript delay. i guess no one told you that my house and all my belongings including art and writings were destroyed in the fire. i have also been getting my new film together. but I do want to do the book still. whats the hold up with ‘crackup at the race riots’ translation ? » Sans date, fax : « I hope you received Tarantula’s copy. Anyway, let’s try to have the book, against the fire, against the water, the snakes and the tigers. With God on our sides. Michel. » Le projet a finalement été abandonné. Aucune publication des œuvres d’Harmony Korine ne semble avoir abouti en France. Ensemble froissé.‎
