What more is possible? After us, the Savage God. -- W.B. Yeats

Author Information

Alfred Jarry (1873-1907) was a French writer of plays, novels, and poetry. His most well-known work, the play Ubu Roi (1896), was first performed in 1896 at the Theatre de l'Oeuvre. Jarry died at the early age of 34 in 1907. Barbara Wright has translated several Raymond Queneau novels; indeed, as John Updike wrote in The New Yorker, she ""has waltzed around the floor with the Master so many times by now that she follows his quirky French as if the steps were in English."" She has also translated works by Alain Robbe-Grillet, Robert Pinget, Nathalie Sarraute, and Marguerite Duras. She lives in London.
