“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.”

Bought these for my 2004 M3, quality is good, fitment is OK, some gaps around the edges but you cant tell unless you look very closely. About as expected for the cost.

Last about a year ishhh
Size: Single Slat, Color: Glossy Black&M-Color
Plastic mold isn’t as straight as it should be, the clips don’t line up like oem. Product is wiggly. Had on car for over half a year. Hasn’t faded. Just wish the fitment was better. Update: the grill lasted about 1 1/2 years, it began to fade, and I had a slat crack, no evidence of impact. I ended up buying a better made product and replaced this grill.

Fits a 2001 330!
Size: Single Slat, Color: Black, Size: Single Slat, Color: Black
The grill in my old 2001 330 broke off and I was really happy to find a nice looking replacement at an inexpensive cost. The black looks really sleek on it and has breathed some new life into it. Next up is to replace the emblem.
