Autobiographie psychologique de Michel Leiris couvrant son enfance et sa jeunesse et marquée par les figures de Lucrèce et de Judith. On apprend que le petit était un adepte de l'onanisme, avait un tempérament sensible qu'il aimait exagérer, etc., etc. L'écriture est joliment classique, mais le contenu plutôt chiant.

"Not only one of the frankest of autobiographies, but also a brilliantly written book, Leiris' Manhood mingles memories, philosophic reflections, sexual revelation, meditations on bullfighting, and the life-long progress of self-discovery."—Washington Post Book World "Leiris writes to appall, and thereby to receive from his readers the gift of a strong emotion—the emotion needed to defend himself against the indignation and disgust he expects to arouse in his readers."—Susan Sontag, New York Review of Books No library descriptions found. |
