The second volume of Michel Leiris's hugely influential four-volume
autobiographical essay, available to English-language readers in a
brilliant and sensitive translation by Lydia Davis One of the most
versatile and beloved French intellectuals of the twentieth
century, Michel Leiris reconceives the autobiography as a literary
experiment that sheds light on the mechanisms of memory and on the
way the unconnected events of a life become connected through
invented narrative. In this volume, the second in his four-volume
epic autobiographical enterprise, Leiris merges quotidian events
with profound philosophical self-exploration. He also wrangles with
the disillusionment that accompanies his own self-reflection. In
the midst of struggling with his own motives for writing an
autobiographical essay, he comes to the revelation that life, after
all, has aspects worth remembering even if moments of beauty are
bookended by misery. Yet what can be said of human life, of his own
life, when his memory is unreliable, his eyesight is failing, and
his mood is despairing?
