About the Book
Jean Rolin's Savannah is an elegy of sorts to his close friend British fashion photographer, Kate Barry, retracing the trip they took together through the American South. Rolin's immense descriptive talent, his minute topographical detail, and his poetic, documentary writing come together in a work that looks as much to keep death at a distance as to confront it directly.Book Synopsis

"Jean Rolin is a companion with whom one can walk as one hears his clear and dispassionate voice, his wry humor . . . 'One day I'll have to tell this story, the story of my heroic death and the ensuing revolution, ' he announces on the final page. I look forward to this." -Christian Authier, Le Figaro "Like Sebald, Rolin is a master of sentence structure, honing his syntax with considerable elegance, allowing his sentences to reach beyond normative bounds in an effort to bring forth meaning more fully. He is not afraid to loiter here and there, taking his time to develop ideas he finds upon his way, as it were. Though the radiator hose explodes, there is no explosion of truth. Instead, through a deftly ironical and dispassionate gaze, Jean Rolin focuses most closely upon small things, the very ones which in the aggregate compose the fabric of existence in the first world, in the third world, or indeed in a fictional world." -World Literature Today
