Diaphanes

When one opens a book, one does not know where one is going. One allows oneself to be guided through times, to places, to feelings that one would not have easily engaged with otherwise. In fact, our lives are detours that we recapitulate in various ways—depending on the time and the people we live with. Alongside the movements of reading and living, the voice of the writer joins in, who incessantly questions themselves—whether in the long shadow of human history or against their own dark autobiographical background: the autistic silence, the hunger, the devouring of books instead of food. "The Wandering Shadows" opens up a monumental writing project: a collection that remains perpetually fragmentary, composed of scattered biographical sketches, poignant aphorisms, beginnings of novels, and prehistoric narratives, which capture at times the most personal and at times the most abstract in crystalline word music. For "The Wandering Shadows," Pascal Quignard received the Prix Goncourt in 2002.
