Jean-Baptiste Del Amo's New Novel Turns to Goya, Illness and Language
In a review titled "L'effraction," En attendant Nadeau reads Del Amo's new book Une éclaircie, which grew out of a trip to Madrid to look at Goya's darkest paintings.
The literary review En attendant Nadeau has published a piece on Jean-Baptiste Del Amo's new book, Une éclaircie, titled "L'effraction." According to the outlet, the book originated in a journey Del Amo made to Madrid to contemplate Goya's darkest works.
From that encounter, En attendant Nadeau writes, Del Amo asks what illness displaces in the body and in one's way of inhabiting the world — and how it reshapes a person's relationship to language.
