As here, with the exhilarating "Grande Beuverie" by the highly spiritual René Daumal. Language there undergoes strange contortions while the author exposes charlatans of all stripes. For those who stumble, there is no bad company. Here then is a gathering of friends united by the same thirst, for drinks as much as for meaning. From laboured dialogues to rambling harangues, they are like atoms subject to furious opposing forces. At the grand ball of confusion, everyone has their say, their final pronouncement, their little idea about the best way to make the world turn. A narrator invites us to follow the fine crew as they attempt to free themselves 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, told in an alcoholic key and traversed to the rhythm of a language that, like the hangover that follows memorable binges, is made of the finest wood. 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!
