Michel Butor

Michel Butor (French: [miʃɛl bytɔʁ]; 14 September 1926 – 24 August 2016) was a French essayist.

Life and work :

Michel Marie François Butor was conceived in Mons-en-Barœul, a suburb of Lille. He contemplated rationality at the Sorbonne, graduating in 1947. He has instructed in Egypt, Manchester, Thessaloniki, the United States, and Geneva. He has won numerous artistic honors for his work, including the Prix Apollo, the Prix Fénéon; and the Prix Renaudot.

Columnists and pundits have related his books with the nouveau roman, however Butor himself since quite a while ago opposed that affiliation. The fundamental purpose of closeness is an extremely broad one, very little past that; like examples of the nouveau roman, he can be portrayed as a test author. His best-known novel, La Modification, for example, is composed completely in the second person.[citation needed] In his 1967 La evaluate et l'invention, he broadly said that even the most exacting citation is as of now a sort of farce as a result of its "trans-contextualization."

For a considerable length of time, he worked in different structures, from papers to verse to craftsman's books[8] to unclassifiable works like Mobile. Writing, painting and travel are subjects especially dear to Butor. Some portion of the interest of his written work is the way it consolidates the thorough symmetries that drove Roland Barthes to applaud him as an embodiment of structuralism (exemplified, for example, by the design plan of Passage de Milan or the calendrical structure of L'emploi du temps) with a melodious sensibility more much the same as Baudelaire than to Robbe-Grillet.

In a meeting in the Museum of Modern Art, New York, directed in 2006,[9] the writer John Ashbery depicts how he needed to sit alongside Michel Butor at a supper in New York.

Butor was a dear companion and associate of Elinor Miller, a French educator at Embry Riddle University. Butor and Miller worked cooperatively on interpretations and addresses. In 2002, Miller distributed a book on Butor entitled Prisms and Rainbows: Michel Butor's Collaborations with Jacques Monory, Jiri Kolar, and Pierre Alechinsky.
