Jean-Louis Schefer's Third Volume of Personal Journal Published
Jean-Louis Schefer has just released the third part of his personal journal, 'Main courante III,' which is subtitled 'Sommes-nous des moralistes?'. It's tough to define the book as purely personal or intimate since he cleverly hides his identity with initials and vague references. In this journal, Schefer shares his thoughts on literature, expresses his disdain for medieval Christian theology, and shows a preference for Chardin over Cézanne. He also makes references to Michelet and the Chauvet cave paintings. He emphasizes that work is central to his life, describing it as his balance. The writing is both anxious and polished, filled with sharp insights and unconventional views, creating a rich mosaic of his experiences.
