As here, with the exuberant "Grande beuverie" by the highly spiritual René Daumal. Language undergoes strange contortions while the author exposes 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 and for meaning. From laborious dialogues to rambling speeches that go nowhere, they are like atoms subjected to furious opposing forces. At the grand ball of confusion, everyone has their say, their final pronouncement, their little idea on the best way to make the world turn. A narrator invites us to follow this fine team as they attempt to free themselves from the grip of alcohol. But there's a catch, as one might say: other existential abysses await them where artists, scientists and politicians reign unchecked. A retelling of the circles of Dante's Inferno, adapted to the drunken mode and traversed to the rhythm of a language that, like the hangover that follows memorable binges, is made of the finest wood. Both a merciless satire and a mystical fable, "La Grande Beuverie" announces our current world, a devastating cocktail of technological intoxication, ostentatious frivolity and abandonment of values. We raise our glass to human stupidity and drink it down!
