Stories that map the writer's artistic development, written with
candor, detachment, and passion. Herve Guibert published
twenty-five books before dying of AIDS in 1991 at age 36. An
originator of French "autofiction" of the 1990s, Guibert wrote with
aggressive candor, detachment, and passion, mixing diary writing,
memoir, and fiction. Best known for the series of books he wrote
during the last years of his life, chronicling his coexistence with
illness, he has been a powerful influence on many contemporary
writers. Written in Invisible Ink maps the writer's artistic
development, from his earliest texts-fragmented stories of queer
desire-to the unnervingly photorealistic descriptions in Vice and
the autobiographical sojourns of Singular Adventures. Propaganda
Death, his harsh, visceral debut, is included in its entirety. The
volume concludes with a series of short, jewel-like stories
composed at the end of his life. These anarchic and lyrical pieces
are translated into English for the first time by Jeffrey
Zuckerman. From midnight encounters with strangers to tormented
relationships with friends, from a blistering sequence written for
Roland Barthes to a tender summoning of Michel Foucault upon his
death, these texts lay bare Guibert's relentless obsessions in
miniature.
