BOOK / THE DOUBLE. Raymond Roussel

LITERATURE / NOVEL

The first novel by Roussel. By the author of Locus Solus and Impressions of Africa. A novel in verse set during the Carnival of Nice in which Roussel vividly expresses the otherness of the artist, the eternal diatribe between Life and Art, between the self that writes and the self that lives. Roussel, who believed he was touched by genius while writing this work, went mad in the face of readers' indifference after its publication. We include the psychiatric study conducted by his doctor, Dr. Pierre Janet, in De l’angoisse à l’extase.
