A quarter of a century ago, a few astonished readers discovered the name of Alain Fleischer, until then known primarily as a filmmaker and photographer. In a single book, which seemed to condense decades of invention, the author unfolded a tone, a rhythm, and a universe where baroque merged with humor, and invention with madness—an ambitious project that brought together the imagination of Kafka, the compositions of Bartók, and the colors of Schiele, reinventing before our eyes a mythical Central Europe and its ghosts. Interweaving short novels and fables punctuated by autobiographical fragments, conjuring mirrors that refract the multiple identities of characters grappling with their duality, freeing itself from solemnity without abandoning the depth of its subtle dramas, Alain Fleischer thus established a signature and a style that would make him a unique writer in contemporary French literature. It is this dizzying body of work—"untimely, rare, and precious," astonishing in its ambition—that we now present in its definitive version, with the hope of expanding its circle of devoted admirers.
