As here, with the exhilarating "Great Drinking Binge" by the very 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 well as meaning. From laborious dialogues to rambling speeches that make no sense, they are like atoms subject to furious opposing forces. At the grand ball of confusion, everyone has their say, their definitive pronouncement, their little idea about the best way to make the world turn. A narrator invites us to follow the fine team as it tries to free itself from the grip of alcohol. But there's a catch, it's fair to say: other existential abysses await them where artists, scientists and politicians reign unchecked. A rereading of the circles of Dante's Hell, declined in drunken mode and traversed to the rhythm of a language that, like the hangover that follows memorable drinking sprees, is of the finest quality. A merciless satire as much as a mystical fable, "The Great Drinking Binge" announces our current world, a devastating cocktail of technological intoxication, ostentatious frivolity and the abandonment of values. We raise our glass to human stupidity and drink it in one gulp!
