Playing the Inside Out is David Adams Richard's distilled insight
on the artist's struggle for full access to artistic integrity by
remaining an outsider to convention. Richards conjures forth his
vision of eternal truths commonly held by all mankind, a Miramichi
cosmic consciousness that he has been working at all his life. In
an entertaining, remonstrating, and ultimately uplifting essay he
identifies how conformity and laziness poison artists, and the
great pressures that exist for writers to "join the herd." No one
can possibly read this essay and not find comments or conclusions
that directly relate to them. The writer's challenge to find and
protect one's inner honesty is deeply familiar to anyone seeking to
be faithful to the true sense of "I" that dominates motivation and
judgement. So personal are the truths that Richards lays out, that
anyone who reads will feel Richards' passion and find value in his
practical wisdom and encouragement. Playing the Inside Out is
shrewd analysis; a personal advisory directed at artists and
writers in particular. But Richards' topic and manner of address
are egalitarian. He is telling us to be who we are - honestly,
consistently, and with heart. Depuis plus de trente ans, l'ecrivain
David Adams Richardspuise dans l'experience de la marginalite de la
Miramichipour approfondir l'interieur de l'etre humain, la ou de
loge le vrai. Dans cet essai, Richards depeint le rapport de
resistance creative qu'il entretient avec l'alterite stigmatisant
qui menace l'authenticite et exprime son appetence d'aller au-dela
des apparences. L'approche sociale et existentielle qu'il adopte
dans son parcours litteraire et personnel privilegie la revelation
d'un vrai possible, qu'il incarne assurement lui-meme en tant
qu'ecrivain. Tel qu'il le fait dans son essai et a l'instar de ses
romans, David Adams Richards contredit, deplace et transforme le
discours hegemonique pour privilegier le vrai. L'ecrivain nous
raconte des histoires qui se deroulent dans un endroit qui devient
seul lieu et tout lieu. L'esthetique du recit assume l'authenticite
que possede une valeur d'expansion permettant d'acceder a des lois
plus puissantes. La demarche de Richards s'inscrit humblement dans
une tentative de sonder une realite plus proche de l'etre
fondamental, voire universelle, au-dela des apparences.
