Jacques Henric Reviews Three Recent Books on Literature and Philosophy
Jacques Henric presents three recent readings. The first is "Illuminations" by Philippe Sollers (Robert Laffont), which offers an annotated anthology of sacred texts in response to the lack of reading of literary works. The second is "Les Infidèles" by Jean-Michel Hirt (Grasset), beginning with a childhood memory of his mother's tears upon discovering the Buchenwald camp, leading to reflections on tears and infidelity. The third is "Le Neveu de Lacan" by Jacques-Alain Miller (Verdier), a satire of Daniel Lindenberg's pamphlet "Les nouveaux réacs."
