Presentation
Philippe Sollers, a secret agent? This is the gamble taken by this unusual self-portrait. Through this figure of secret agent, we follow him from his birth in 1936 in a bourgeois family of Bordeaux, up to his office at Gallimard.
There is something magic in the work and life of Philippe Sollers, writer, editor, reviewer, lonely and paradoxical man, and also an amazing visionary. This magic is born from his passion for literature, poetry, nature and music, for romantic encounter, for the art of secrecy and intimacy. He goes on the tracks of intellectual and politic life of an entire generation where we can meet Jacques Lacan, Roland Barthes, Mao Tse Tung, Holderlin, Nietzsche, Baudelaire, Bataille, Rimbaud, Julia Kristeva, Dominique Rolin, mais aussi Bach, Monteverdi, Venise, Hitchcock, Manet, Picasso, Poussin, Homère, Cecilia Bartoli, the Bible, Eugenia, his first love story, the one of Une curieuse solitude. And of course, his son David.
Sollers, a “secret agent”, is bringing us with him to the exploration of the today’s most mysterious author’s world.
