Michel Vachey

Michel Vachey

Michel Vachey (1939–87) was a French author of experimental fiction and poetry. He was a founder of the Textruction movement, which sought to blur the line between image and text, and in his writing, visual art informs his style and themes. His work includes novels, collages, and hybrid story-essays.

S. C. Delaney has translated, with Agnès Potier, Tony Duvert’s prose collections Odd Jobs and District (Wakefield Press). Their work has appeared in Gargoyle, Black Sun Lit, Animal Shelter, Gigantic, Hayden’s Ferry Review, Fiction International, and elsewhere.
