"In his second "novel," "Newspaper," the acclaimed writer, photographer, and artist Edouard Leve made perhaps his most radical attempt to remove himself from his own work. Made up of fictionalized newspaper articles, arranged according to broad sections some familiar, some not "Newspaper" gives us a tour of the modern world as reported by its supposedly impartial chroniclers. Much of this "news" is quite sad, some is funny, but the whole serves as a gory parody of the way we have been taught to see our lives and the lives of our fellow human beings."--Back cover.

Edouard Levé was born on January 1, 1965, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. A writer, photographer, and visual artist, Levé was the author of four books of writing-Works, Newspaper, Autoportrait, and Suicide-and three books of photographs. Suicide, published in 2008, was his final book.
