AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
4 volumes grand in-12, 302; 239; 292; 399 pages - Bel exemplaire.
--------
Michel Leiris devoted nearly thirty years to La Règle du jeu, a vast autobiographical work in four volumes, published between 1948 and 1976. It is considered one of the peaks of modern autobiography.
The four volumes are:
Biffures (1948)
Fourbis (1955)
Fibrilles (1966)
Frêle Bruit (1976)
Leiris' goal is not to tell his life chronologically, but to explore the formation of his identity through:
childhood memories;
associations of words and images;
dreams, obsessions, and emotions;
a permanent reflection on writing itself.
The work pursues a central question: how to tell the truth about oneself? Leiris seeks extreme sincerity, while showing that memory and language inevitably distort experience. He thus transforms the autobiography into an investigation of the mechanisms of consciousness and writing.
The title La Règle du jeu refers both to the rules of autobiographical writing and to the implicit rules that govern social life and existence. The work extends the themes of his earlier book, L'Âge d'homme, but in a much freer, fragmentary and experimental form.
