(3.44) 7 By the early 1970s, Romain Gary had established himself as one of France's most popular and prolific novelists, journalists, and memoirists.

The Prix Goncourt made people all the keener to identify the real "©mile Ajar," and stressed by the furor he had created, Gary fled to Geneva. There, Pseudo, a hoax confession and one of the most alarmingly effective mystifications in all literature, was written at high speed. Writing under double cover, Gary simulated schizophrenia and paranoid delusions while pretending to be Paul Pawlovitch confessing to being ©mile Ajar-the author of books Gary himself had written.? In Pseudo, brilliantly translated by David Bellos as Hocus Bogus, the struggle to assert and deny authorship is part of a wider protest against suffering and universal hypocrisy. Playing with novelistic categories and authorial voice, this work is a powerful testimony to the power of language-to express, to amuse, to deceive, and ultimately to speak difficult personal truths.? … (més )

Brûlures, morsures, déchirures. Des chiens mordent. Des meutes de chiens. Des vagues incessantes de chiens. Des ruées de chiens ardents, impétueux et dont je ne puis parler à personne, dont je dois, dans un pareil moment, me retenir de parler, faisant comme s’ils n’étaient pas là , comme si j’étais au repos… tranquille, hors d’atteinte. HENRI MICHAUX, Face à ce qui se dérobe.
