From 1923, when he emigrated from Bucharest, to his deportation to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944, Benjamin Fondane made a unique and independent-minded contribution to the literary life of Paris. One of the most significant pieces in Fondane's body of work is the long poem Ulysses, first published in 1933. It is his second "edition without an end,” that is translated here for the first time into English.

Benjamin Fondane (1898-1944) was a Romanian Jew who immigrated to France. He is the author of several collections of poetry and philosophical essays.

Nathaniel Rudavsky-Brody has translated the work of French and Belgian poets, including Paul Valéry and Benjamin Fondane. In 2013, he was awarded the Susan Sontag Prize for Translation.
