Louis-René des Forêts: Complete Works Published by Gallimard
Gallimard's 'Quarto' series has published the complete works of Louis-René des Forêts, a major but reclusive French writer. The edition gathers his novels, poems, and critical texts, including the celebrated 'Le Bavard' and 'Les Mendiants'. A photograph by Brigitte Enguerand on the cover of Jean Roudaut's 1995 study (Seuil) captures the writer's intense gaze. Des Forêts, who died in 2000, is known for his sparse, introspective style and his exploration of silence and language. The collection, reviewed in artpress issue 429 (January 2016), spans his career from the 1940s to the 1990s.
