A Body, in Spite: A Slight Philosophy for Actors
Philosopher-playwright Alain Jugnon's a body, in spite introduces this prolific French author to an English-speaking readership. The aphorisms that comprise this slight philosophy for actors are an inventoried body with and without its defenses. With incisive humor, Jugnon casts his intellect into the many-organed world, to draw from its semantic recesses a sort of divine putrescence. This work, written for the stage, and received as a presage, reads like an autobiography of Nietzsche's last laugh. This bilingual edition features an afterword by the translator.
