Book Description:
|
As if it were dictated, so to speak, from the front lines', Tent Posts is a book of theoretical urgency by the great Belgian writer. From the very first line Michaux warns the reader to prepare for combat, a bodiless, abstract combat learned by daydreaming. He hectors, cajoles, encourages, and entertains us like a grumbling pedant: 'Communicate? You too would like to communicate? Communicate what'... You're not yet intimate enough with you, poor fool, to have something to communicate.''
