Mors -- Sports notebook -- "Look! Already the angel...";One of the most versatile and beloved French intellectuals of the twentieth century, Michel Leiris reconceives the autobiography as a literary experiment that sheds light on the mechanisms of memory and on the way the unconnected events of a life become connected through invented narrative. In this volume, the second in his four-volume epic autobiographical enterprise, Leiris merges quotidian events with profound philosophical self-exploration, wrangling with the disillusionment that accompanies his own self-reflection. While struggling with his own motives for writing an autobiographical essay, he comes to the revelation that life, while bookended by misery, has meaning in memory, in telling the tale.
