In Jacques Reda: Being There, Almost, Aaron Prevots studies the
work of this major contemporary French writer since the
1950s-poetry, novels, literary essays, short prose, jazz histories.
He particularly examines Reda's explorations of place, including
how the 'world's energy' becomes the ideal dancing partner, poetry
incarnate in one's arms. Reda embodies 'being there, almost'
because he wanders with great wisdom yet renounces any glory in
this metaphorical dance. He aligns us with the outer world's
rhythms and time's passage. Fleeting waves of perception create a
voluptuous, unified whole. In considering the arc of Reda's works
from 1952-2015, Aaron Prevots locates a progression from
post-Baudelairean flanerie to commemoration of childhood, classical
antiquity, fellow writers, jazz, physics, swing, theology, and
trains.
