As here, with the exhilarating "Grande Beuverie" by the highly spiritual René Daumal. Language undergoes strange contortions while the author flushes out charlatans of all kinds. For those who stumble, there is no bad company. Here then is a circle of friends united by the same thirst, for drinks as much as for meaning. From laboured dialogues to rambling speeches that make no sense, they are like atoms subjected to furious opposing forces. At the grand ball of confusion, each has their say, their final verdict, their little idea on the best way to make the world go round. A narrator invites us to follow the fine team as it attempts to break free from alcohol's grip. But there's a catch, as they say: other existential abysses await them where artists, scientists and politicians reign unchallenged. A retelling of Dante's circles of Hell, played out on an alcoholic note and traversed to the rhythm of a language that, like the hangover that follows memorable drinking bouts, is of the finest vintage. A pitiless satire as much as a mystical fable, "La Grande Beuverie" announces our current world, a devastating cocktail of technological intoxication, ostentatious frivolity and the renunciation of values. We raise our glass to human stupidity and drink it down in one!
