From the sizzling sharpness of freshly cut garlic to the cool tang
of a father's aftershave; the heady intoxication of a fumbled first
kiss to the anodyne void of disinfectant and death, this is a
decadently original olfactory memoir. In sixty-three elusive
episodes we roam freely across the countryside of Lorraine,
North-East France, from kitchen to farm to a lover's bed.
Recognising the bittersweet nostalgia of a scent that slips away on
the summer breeze, Claudel demonstrates again his impeccable grasp
of the personal and the universal, interweaved with a rare
self-deprecating charm. This is an evocative patchwork at once
earthy and ethereal, erotic and heart-breaking. Claudel permits us
a glimpse of moments that have driven him to delight or despair,
creating through the fading aromas of the past fragments of humour,
insight and quite intangible beauty.
