L'épuisement. Un orage.

FIRST EDITION. One of 50 numbered copies on Ingres d'Arches, the only large paper edition.

Christian Bobin was born in 1951 and still lives in the industrial region of central France, in Le Creusot. His father was a draughtsman. After high school, of which he has not very fond memories, Christian Bobin, a great reader since childhood, studied philosophy then worked at the Autun library and for a magazine. He very quickly began to publish poetry and essays with various publishers, particularly Gallimard. Difficult to classify into a precise literary genre, his texts are so many small paintings, poems, fragments of a personal diary... he admits to living in books and avoiding the literary world.
