AUTOPORTRAIT BY EDOUARD LEVÉ

AUTOPORTRAIT BY EDOUARD LEVÉ BACK COVER DESCRIPTION AND QUOTE:

In this brilliant and sobering self-portrait, Edouard Levé hides nothing from his readers, setting out his entire life, more or less at random, in a string of declarative sentences. Autoportrait is a physical, psychological, sexual, political, and philosophical triumph. Beyond “sincerity,” Levé works toward an objectivity so radical it could pass for crudeness, triviality, even banality; the author has stripped himself bare. With the force of a set of maxims or morals, Levé’s prose seems at first to be an autobiography without sentiment, as though written by a machine — until, through the accumulation of detail, and the author’s dry, quizzical tone, we find ourselves bemused, disarmed, enthralled, and finally enraptured by nothing less than the perfect fiction … made entirely of facts. “Levé writes beautiful about the simplest moments, reminding us both of the pleasures of life and the sadness one must feel at being numb to them.” —BOMB
