Comments: Softcover, 270 x 225 mm. First edition, 2003. Text in french and in english. Binding is fine, inside clean but bumped to one corner which also touched the corner of the first pages inside. The book is marked as a "specimen" (the copy must have been previewing for the press). Collectible.

“The night, the sex, the wandering... The need to record, not as a deliberate act, but as a flat pattern of regular and extreme experiences. A practice inseparable from a particular way of looking at life, where the risk, the desire, the unconscious remains the essential elements. No moral attitude there, no judgment, but the need to explore some universes, share them through, without any precautions... It is a passage to the act of writing, to the verge of extinction, enjoyment and death.”

Antoine d'Agata
