RenÃ© Crevel,Robert Bononno
In My Body and I (Mon Corps et Moi, 1925), RenÃ© Crevel attempts to trace with words the geography of a being. Exploring the tension between body and spirit, Crevelâ€™s meditation is a vivid personal journey through illusion and disillusion, secret desire, memory, the possibility and impossibility of life, sensuality and sexuality, poetry, truth, and the wilderness of the imagination. The narratorâ€™s Romantic mind moves from evocative tales and sensations to frank confessions, making the reader a confidant to this great soul trapped in an awkward-fitting body. A Surrealist Proust.
