Pierre Guyotat has been reviled and revered in equal measure in his native France; his literary progenitors are De Sade, Artaud, Bataille, and Genet. Like Artaud, he views the act of writing as a physical secretion, a feral expectoration of deadly poisons which are remorselessly savage and interrogative in their visceral impact upon the reader.
EDEN EDEN EDEN is now celebrated as one of the classic works of 20th century French literature.
With a preface by Roland Barthes, and an introduction by Stephen Barber.
