Welcome to the Cinema by Robert Coover, published by Sakuhinsha.
Westerns, musicals, Chaplin comedies, "Casablanca," film noir, cartoons... This book dissects and enchantingly reconstructs films of all genres!
The master of postmodern literature presents a bizarre experience of a continuous movie screening, a projectionist, and a girl in the audience, with radical black humor that would make Rabelais proud!
This book is neither a novelization of a film nor a parody of a classic work. While Coover borrows frameworks (frames) and well-known characters (or actors) from various genre films, including Westerns... this is because they are American "myths." The idioms and ideologies used in that world form a "collective fantasy," blending into the lives and culture of Americans, influencing their ways of life and thinking.
However, the book only briefly follows the actions of the protagonists (or actors) of these "myths" before immediately breaking down genre conventions and stereotypical characterizations, plunging into Coover's unique world. -- From the Translator's Afterword
