Collection: Jacques Sternberg

Jacques Sternberg (1923–2006) was a literary maverick, who wrote over fifty books that roamed freely through genre and influence without ever adhering to anything that might threaten constraint. His work engaged in forms of bureaucratic terror, humorous surrealism, pessimistic science fiction, absurdist theater, photomontage, over twenty anthologies on everything from eroticism to kitsch, as well as no less than five autobiographies and two dictionaries (one of them a dictionary of contempt). For a spell he was a member of the Panic Movement, founded by Fernando Arrabal, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor.
