"Louis-Ren???e des For???ets (1916-2000) devoted the last twenty-five years of his writing life to an innovative practice of autobiography, spanning poetry and fragmentary prose, and culminating in the key works Po???emes de Samuel Wood (1987), Ostinato (1997) and the posthumously published Pas ???a pas jusqu'au dernier (2001). Ian Maclachlan's study is the first to take this innovation in life-writing as its principal focus and to draw out the wider resonances of des For???ets's distinctive project for the theory and practice of autobiography. Des For???ets's unusual traversal of genres, formal experimentation, and sparseness of biographical detail give rise to a new mode of abstract, impersonal autobiographical writing. Echoing des For???ets's own, earlier use of the term autobiographie int???erieure in relation to his short-story collection La Chambre des enfants (1960), as well as his friend Georges Bataille's idiosyncratic notion of exp???erience int???erieure, this novel style of life-writing is explored here under the rubric of 'inner autobiography'."--Page 4 of cover.
