Haunted by the flesh as much as it was by death, this universe parallel to ours had its own rules but radiated to the heart of the French language to illuminate with undeniable power of truth the underside of the cards of human comedy.
The work of Pierre Guyotat, a universe of cruel splendor and haunted by the flesh
The writer's books have irradiated the French language to the point of twisting or mistreating it in its major fiction cycles, when it became more "normative" in its autobiographical accounts.
