According to the newspaper, the text amounts to a plea on behalf of a writer whose legacy remains contested, both for his aesthetics and for the circumstances of his death, which he staged as a ritual act. Le Monde frames Liddell's piece as a confrontation with that legacy rather than a simple homage.
No further details on the form, length or publisher of the text are given in the available material.
