Description

Léon-Paul Fargue's prose poems in "High Solitude" create a unique universe that spans prehistoric nights and the end of the world. Within this fantastical realm, the author revisits his beloved Paris, tracing its secret geography alongside the ghosts of those dear to him. Fargue's work is characterized by its vivid portrayal of the city's white nights, stations, and cafes, as well as its exploration of the concept of solitude. Through his writing, he searches for a way to guide his own solitude through the "sea of insomnia" where the long line of the dead has left us. Published in 1941, "High Solitude" is a collection that showcases Fargue's extraordinary verbal inventiveness and visionary prose poetry style.
