One of the last books I have read is Patricia Dunker Hallucinating Foucault
This is a fantastic book that basically highlights the relatioship among writers and readers.
A postgraduate student is the starting point of a quest to find the object of his thesis, Paul Michel. He goes to France to meet him. Following the research path he goes to an isolated asylum and the beaches of the south of France. This is a book that celebrates the love of the student-reader towards the writer.
Duncker writes:"It cannot be proven to exist. Yet we often talk with extraordinary intensity about a writer we've discovered, loved, read, and re-read. Reading is an eerie, alien, intimate experience. We know that there is someone on the other side of writing. They are sometimes close, terrifyingly present. We listen hard."
creative act.
