Description

Thomas the ObscureBefore Sartre, before Beckett, before Robbe Grillet, Maurice Blanchot created the new novel, the ultimate post modern fiction. Written between 1932 and 1940, Blanchot's first novel, here brilliantly translated by Robert Lamberton, contains all the remarkable aspects of his famous and perplexing invention, the ontological narrative a tale whose subject is the nature of being itself. This paradoxical work discovers being in the absence of being, mystery

Before Sartre, before Beckett, before Robbe-Grillet, Maurice Blanchot created the new novel, the ultimate post-modern fiction. Written between 1932 and 1940, Blanchot's first novel, here brilliantly translated by Robert Lamberton, contains all the remarkable aspects of his famous and perplexing invention, the ontological narrative--a tale whose subject is the nature of being itself. This paradoxical work discovers being in the absence of being, mystery in the absence of mystery, both to be searched for limitlessly. As Blanchot launches this endless search in his own masterful way, he transforms the possibilities of the novel. First issued in English in 1973 in a limited edition, this re-issue includes an illuminating essay on translation by Lamberton.

Nice small bar cart
Color: Brown(17"w), Color: Brown(17"w)
We have a bar area but it’s downstairs and we are usually upstairs so it’s not convenient. I wanted a little cart to hold a few items but not be in the way. After looking all over the Internet I found this one for a good price. I liked the ability to remove the top so we can bring just that into the kitchen or living room and it looks nice. I had to put it together and it wasn’t too difficult, took about 30 min, HOWEVER I used a ratcheting screwdriver with an Allen wrench attachment or else it would have taken a lot longer! (It does come with the little Allen wrench included so you don’t have to purchase any tools.) All the parts were labeled well and included a couple extra screws. I tightened it up good and it’s sturdy. It doesn’t take up a lot of space. If you just need a small cart this will work! PS you can opt to leave off the parts that hold the wine glass if you don’t need them/ or want more space on that middle shelf

Ninjavan delivery not recommended
Color: Brown(24.8"w)
Bar cart came with instructions that were easy to follow for assembly. Size and height were as expected. The real problem was the delivery. Ninjavan was not able to deliver on time and kept saying that the wrong address was provided. Item was supposed to arrive on Dec 15 however, we reached out to Amazon about the problem and they sent a new item which arrived December 30 using a different courier.

Sturdy space saving cute little wine/alcohol cart on wheels. Very well designed. Took a while to put together because there were so many pieces but it was easy and it was worth it. High quality. Bought it on Black Friday and got an amazing deal.
