Ce que dit l'éditeurThe Wit of the Staircase is a hymn to the imaginary. Raul Ruiz made the final touches a few days before his death. Taking a ghost as alter-ego, this mischievous fantasy liberates the reader, and disarms with its unusual poetry. « You are going to invent a life, a whole life. I was spoilt for choice... I could recount my life as the Emperor of China. Or a Roman legionnaire, a Catalan bandit, goodness knows what ! I re-invented my own life, with a slight discrepancy. I couldn't possibly know I was going to live this life... for real ! That I would have to suffer the death I recounted. » This book follows his other written works published with Dis Voir (In Pursuit of Treasure Island, The Book of Disappearances and his two Poetics of Cinema volumes). |
RésuméFlanders, dit le Belge, était membre des Agathopèdes, un groupe de dandys belges du milieu du XIXe siècle. Ces prédadaïstes consacraient leur vie à faire des canulars et des faux et avaient mis aux enchères des ouvrages imaginaires. Flanders, mort en 1850, est ressuscité par des spirites du XXIe siècle. ©Electre 2024 |
