Description
- Abstract:
- In lieu of an abstract, this is an excerpt from the first page: "Like all those who suffer from chronic restlessness, a kind of pest inside the soul, preventing one from being happy or from simply enjoying tranquil mediocrity, I one day thought about exorcising myself. To transcend myself through "art." The chance not only to enjoy ephemeral glory immortally, but to drive away the bats inhabiting my brain, perhaps even to free myself from them forever. So I became a writer. To write a novel whose development would begin immediately. But leafing through a book by Jack Kerouac, a kind of angel and devil of the fifties, I found a statement which, true or false, bothered me."
