This illustrated English-language edition of French writer-filmmaker Frédéric Beigbeder's 2014 novel, Oona & Salinger. A nostalgic and bittersweet love story, Manhattan's Babe is a fictionalized account of the true-life romance between J.D. Salinger and Oona O'Neill, daughter of the great American playwright. The two first met in New York City in 1940, when Jerry Salinger, 21, was an up-and-coming writer, and Oona, 15, was a beautiful and charming socialite who partied at the Stork Club with Truman Capote and Gloria Vanderbilt. Their all-too-short romance blossomed during the summer of 1941, just a few months before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the U.S. joined World War II.

Then Salinger was drafted into the Army, and Oona went off to seek her fortune in Hollywood. He endured D-Day, battle in the Hürtgen Forest, and the liberation of the camps, and suffered post-traumatic stress, leading him to retreat from the world. She lived the glamorous life of a film star in Los Angeles, and met and married the much older Charlie Chaplin, bearing him eight children, standing with him when Hollywood turned against him, and caring for him as he became infirm.

Inspired by true events, with scenes, characterizations, dialogue, and letters imagined for dramatic purposes, Beigbeder asks the poignant question, What would they say to each other if they had met again years later?

Koyasan: Senju's Works of Art 1,200 Years After K?kai, is a tribute to both Senju Hiroshi, a celebrated contemporary Japanese artist, and K?kai, a Japanese Buddhist monk credited with founding the Shingon sect of Buddhism. The book primarily centers around the sacred Kongobuji Temple, which sits atop Mount Koya in the Wakayama Prefecture of Japan, and serves as the headquarters of the Shingon sect. Moved by the surrounding pine trees, rocks, and streams that K?kai found atop Mount Koya, he chose to create his center for his esoteric doctrine there, and the temple that stands in Koyasan today was at the spot on Mount Koya where K?kai found enlightenment some 1200 years ago.
K?kai is an incredibly important figure in Japan, and people regularly travel to visit Kongobuji temple at Koyasan. The temple is very much still in use today; it is run by a head monk who is a K?kai scholar and wrote the main text in this introspective volume. To celebrate the 1200 years since K?kai's foundation, the temple invited Senju Hiroshi to create site-specific works, two monumental mural paintings that each consist of different panels to make up one body of work. Appropriately titled Waterfall and Cliff, the works are inspiredby the tranquil environment surrounding the temple, the surroundings of which served as a muse to K?kai in his poetry and work as a monk. The two murals are installed in the room in the temple where a ceremony takes place to honor new monks joining the Buddhist sect, serving as a momentous reminder of K?kai and his vision.
With Koyasan as the main character, and K?kai and Senju in the service of the pervasive beauty surrounding Mount Koya, this title's opening scene begins on the mountain, with a text by the head monk telling the story of K?kai from birth and how he came to Koyasan. The book includes quotes from K?kai's poems, generous installation views of Senju's works at the temple, as well as Japanese national treasures like statues and artefacts that belong to the temple's collection. Also presented within, are images of the modern day monks and their rituals honoring K?kai, a text from Senju Hiroshi himself about his connection with K?kai, and the journey to produce the paintings. This beautifully made tome is indicative of the quiet meditative peace and honor of K?kai. Lire la suite Fermer
