Description
As if some chained being had to shake its essence free, as if art taken to its limit were a form of howling, Animalinside explodes from its first line: "He wants to break free, attempts to stretch open the walls, but he has been tautened by them, and there he remains in this tautening, in this constraint, and there is nothing to do but howl. . . ."
To create this work that strains against all constraints, Laszlo Krasznahorkai began from one of Max Neumann's paintings; Neumann, spurred into action, created 14 more images, which unleashed an additional 13 texts from the author. Animalinside is the rare case of two matchless artists meeting across disciplines, and New Directions is very proud to publish a limited edition of this powerful novella, exquisitely produced by Sylph Editions and the Cahiers Series of the American University of Paris with a deluxe seven-stage printing process for the amazing Neumann images.

Description
This cahier is the result of a collaboration undertaken specially for T"he Cahiers Series," between Hungarian novelist Laszlo Krasznahorkai and German painter Max Neumann. Krasznahorkai, author of "The Melancholy of Resistance" and "War & War, "responds with 14 texts to 14 depictions of a strange and ill-formed creature made by the renowned German painter Max Neumann. The texts speak from within the head of Neumann s creature that seems to be menacing existence itself. The cahier is introduced with a preface by Irish novelist Colm Toibin."
