Future, Former, Fugitive by Olivier Cadiot extends Roof’s line of translations with the latest work of the leading light among France’s younger poets. Cadiot’s post-modern Robinson Crusoe skewers even the most well guarded crack-pots and high-society riff-raff. With wit and insight, Future, Former, Fugitive is a kind of play, kind of poem, kind of diatribe against whatever ails you.
Cadiot first book of poems, L'Art poetic, in which he used the cut-up technique, was published in 1988. In 1993, Cadiot published Futur, ancient, fugitive, and in 1997 he published Le Colonel des zouaves. In these books he proposed novels as poems. In 1995 and 1996 he coedited the Revue de Littérature générale with Pierre Alféri.
