| biography:
| Poet, born in Narbonne, S France. He was wounded in World War 1, which left him paralysed. He wrote Lettres à Marthe, began his Journal Intemporel, and wrote a pseudo-historic text La France du vent published in 1929. He forged a philosophy where a person, unconsciously, is an infinite being in ‘L'homme n'est pas, mais l'etre est son oeuvre’. Retour was influenced by Surrealism. In his most fruitful period he produced Les Petits Papièrs de Monsieur Sureau (1935), Le Passeur endormi (1939), and Les Capitales, dedicated to Jean Paulhan and published after Bousquet's death. Le Meneur de lune (1946) is autobiographical. |
