René Daumal
THE LIE OF THE TRUTH
14 eur add to cart

The Lie of the Truth, René Daumal's brief, dense essay, bids us to resist the very notion of the truth, and to recognize it as an artistic and metaphysical dead-end.
René Daumal (1908-1944) was a French poet and writer often associated with surrealism (though he fought against the label), spiritualism, and ‘pataphysics.’ He is perhaps best remembered for the posthumously published novel, Mount Analogue (1952).
