Dans Le retentissant destin de Georges Darien à la Belle Époque , Aurélien Lorig s’intéresse à la vie et à l’œuvre d’un écrivain réfractaire peu connu. Avant d’être Darien, celui qui a pour patronyme Adrien est communément décrit comme un anarchiste et un marginal. En réalité, c’est un homme de lettres passionnant. L’ouvrage retrace le parcours d’un auteur plein de paradoxes, mais toujours fidèle à ses convictions individualistes. Malgré l’hostilité de ses contemporains, Darien croit au pouvoir des mots et pratique une écriture assassine où éthique comme esthétique replacent indéniablement l’écrivain dans le jeu fin-de-siècle des héritages et des lignages. De manière convaincante, Aurélien Lorig nous fait redécouvrir l’œuvre de Darien, laquelle pourrait inspirer les combats individuels, collectifs et sociaux d’aujourd’hui. In Le retentissant destin de Georges Darien à la Belle Époque , Aurélien Lorig studies the life and the work of a little known, refractory author. Before he was Darien, the writer whose real surname was Adrien, is usually described as an anarchist, and an outcast. He actually was a fascinating man of letters. This essay recounts the journey of an author who, in spite of his numerous paradoxes, has always been true to his individualist values. In spite of his contemporaries' hostility, Darien believed in the power of words, and he practiced a murderous writing, in which ethics and aesthetics undeniably place the writer in the fin-de-siècle legacy and lineage game. Convincingly, Aurélien Lorig helps us to rediscover Darien's work, which could inspire us for individual, collective, and social nowadays struggles.

An engaging invitation to rediscover Henry Miller--and to learn how his anarchist sensibility can help us escape "the air-conditioned nightmare" of the modern worldThe American writer Henry Miller's critical reputation--if not his popular readership--has been in eclipse at least since Kate Millett's blistering critique in Sexual Politics, her landmark 1970 study of misogyny in literature and art. Even a Miller fan like the acclaimed Scottish writer John Burnside finds Miller's "sex books"--including The Rosy Crucifixion, Tropic of Cancer, and Tropic of Capricorn--"boring and embarrassing." But Burnside says that Miller's notorious image as a "pornographer and woman hater" has hidden his vital, true importance--his anarchist sensibility and the way it shows us how, by fleeing from conformity of all kinds, we may be able to save ourselves from the "air-conditioned nightmare" of the modern world. Miller wrote that "there is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy," and in this short, engaging, and personal book, Burnside shows how Miller teaches us to become less adapted to the world, to resist a life sentence to the prison of social, intellectual, emotional, and material conditioning. Exploring the full range of Miller's work, and giving special attention to The Air-Conditioned Nightmare and The Colossus of Maroussi, Burnside shows how, with humor and wisdom, Miller illuminates the misunderstood tradition of anarchist thought. Along the way, Burnside reflects on Rimbaud's enormous influence on Miller, as well as on how Rimbaud and Miller have influenced his own writing. An unconventional and appealing account of an unjustly neglected writer, On Henry Miller restores to us a figure whose searing criticism of the modern world has never been more relevant.
