“Tania Langlais’ Pendant que Perceval tombait draws from overlapping sources: literary fiction, literary biography, and a third voice which enters subtly, the voice of the poet. This book-length poem occurs over the course of a single day and encompasses both the day of Woolf’s suicide and the death of the character Percival from Woolf’s novel The Waves. I have read nothing else like it.”
—From the introduction by translator Jessica Cuello
