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.
