As here, with the exhilarating "Great Drinking Spree" 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 as for meaning. From laborious dialogues to senseless tirades, they resemble atoms subject to furious opposing forces. At the grand ball of confusion, everyone has their say, their final verdict, their little idea about the best way to make the world turn. A narrator invites us to follow this fine team while they attempt to free themselves from alcohol's grip. But there's a hitch, as they say: other existential abysses await them where artists, scientists and politicians reign unchecked. A rereading of the circles of Dante's Inferno, declined in an inebriated mode and crossed at the pace of a language which, like the regret that follows memorable drinking bouts, is made of the finest wood. A pitiless satire as much as a mystical fable, "La Grande Beuverie" announces our present world, a devastating cocktail of technological intoxication, ostentatious frivolity and abandonment of values. We raise our glass to human stupidity and drink it down!
