La rage de l'expression

Résumé

In Mute Objects of Expression, Francis Ponge proclaims his goal: to accept the challenge that things--objects-offer to language. These objects and scenes are perceived with unique Pongean art and humor in this volume centering on the unoccupied southern Loire countryside, where his family lived from 1940 to 1943. Because of wartime shortages, much of the book was drafted in a small notebook that made up his sole supply of paper.
