<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in French as Autoportrait by P.O.L. editeur, 2005."--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this brilliant and sobering self-portrait, Edouard Lev? hides nothing from his readers, setting out his entire life, more or less at random, in a string of declarative sentences. Autoportrait is a physical, psychological, sexual, political, and philosophical triumph. Beyond sincerity, Lev? works toward an objectivity so radical it could pass for crudeness, triviality, even banality: the author has stripped himself bare. With the force of a set of maxims or morals, Lev?'s prose seems at first to be an autobiography without sentiment, as though written by a machine--until, through the accumulation of detail, and the author's dry, quizzical tone, we find ourselves disarmed, enthralled, and enraptured by nothing less than the perfect fiction... made entirely of facts.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P>[A] small gem from a writer of great talent and originality.--Scott Esposito"The Quarterly Conversation" (01/01/0001)<br><br><P>An unflinching self-portrait.--Jason DeYoung"Num?ro Cinq" (01/01/0001)<br>
