“Irreducible to any single literary genre, the Volodinian cosmos is skillfully crafted, fusing elements of science fiction with magical realism and political commentary.”  
—Nicholas Hauck, Music & Literature

One of Volodine’s funniest books, Bardo or Not Bardo takes place in his universe of failed revolutions, radical shamanism, and off-kilter nomenclature.

In each of these seven vignettes, someone dies and has to make his way through the Tibetan afterlife, also known as the Bardo, where souls wander for forty-nine days before being reborn with the help of the Book of the Dead.

Unfortunately, Volodine’s characters bungle their chances at enlightenment: the newly dead end up choosing to waste away their afterlife sleeping or to be reborn as an insignificant spider. The living aren’t much better off and make a mess of things in their own way, to the point of mistaking a Tibetan cookbook for the holy book.

Once again, Volodine has demonstrated his range and ambition, crafting a moving, hysterical work about transformations and the power of the book. (Read an Excerpt)

Translated from the French by J. T. Mahany

• 

About the Author: Antoine Volodine is the primary pseudonym of a French writer who has published twenty books under this name, several of which are available in English translation. He also publishes under the names Lutz Bassmann and Manuela Draeger. Most of his works take place in a post-apocalyptic world where members of the “post-exoticism” writing movement have all been arrested as subversive elements. Together, these works constitute one of the most inventive, ambitious projects of contemporary writing.

About the Translator: J. T. Mahany is a graduate of the MA in Literary Translation Studies program at the University of Rochester and is currently studying for his MFA at the University of Arkansas. He has previously translated Volodine's Post Exoticism in Ten Lessons, Lesson Eleven, also available from Open Letter. He won the 2017 Albertine Prize for his translation of Bardo or Not Bardo.

“His quirky and eccentric narrative achieves quite staggering and electric effects. . . . Dazzling in its epic proportions and imaginative scope.”

Loved the wig I received. It was full and luscious. It's easy to curl, very easy to slip on and off. I have a small forehead so the 5×5 was perfect !

#1 Winterwear Choice
My favorite jacket I own. This jacket is not only one of the most stylish articles of clothing I have, but perhaps one of the warmest. When I bought an XL I got an XL, it fits perfect. Its heavy for a denim jacket, but that means it is built with quality. Not only does it have a clean aesthetic, but it is extremely utilitarian: If you're getting a jacket, you're getting it for a purpose. This jacket serves that purpose, in fact it serves multiple. This jacket has deep pockets, so your valubles don't slip out while standing or sitting. The price for this jacket is phenomenal, and almost unreasonable for the manufacturer compared to the actual quality you get. The materials to make this jacket may be inexpensive or cheap, but they certainly don't don't look or feel that way. If this jacket ever tears or gets ruined, I'm just going to buy another honestly. I highly recommend this jacket to anyone who wants quality, warmth, durability, aesthetic, and a budget conscious choice compared to designer brand apparel.

Great Quality
My son Loves this Jacket. He specifically asked for one for Christmas and this one met his every expectation. It is great quality. It is thick and warm without being too bulky. I sized up for him since he is a growing teenager and it still fits great and he will be able to wear it next winter too if he wants.
