Description: In Click-Rose, originally published in France in 1984, Dominique Fourcade explores the idea of "rose" in a series of quick "zooming on" and "zeroing in on" scenes, memories, ideas, associations, and other forms. As if taking the opposite tack from Stein's famed anti-symbolist proclamation "a rose is a rose is a rose," Fourcade finds meaning in all notions of rose including its own disappearance.

Like a series of linguistic snap-shots, Fourcade's writing stacks up rosy events, memories, and mischief enough for a lifetime.
