Description
Pierre Guyotat's Coma is a deeply moving and vivid portrayal of an artistic and spiritual crisis. In the 1980s, the author reached the physical limits of his search for a new language, entered a mental clinic, and fell into a coma brought on by self-imposed starvation.
This poetic account links Guyotat's illness and loss of subjectivity to a broader concern for the slow, progressive regeneration of humanity. Written in a unique style that blends brilliance and a flash of life, Coma visits moments from his lifetime that share these qualities.
