Mausoleum of Lovers Journals 1976&82111991 [Paperback]

The Mausoleum of Lovers comprises Guiberts journals, kept from 19761991. Functioning as an atelier, it forecasts the writing of a novel, which does not materialize as such; the journal itself  a mausoleum of lovers  comes to take its place. The sensual exigencies and untempered forms of address in this epistolary work, often compared to Barthes A Lovers Discourse, use the letter and the photograph in a work that hovers between forms, in anticipation of its own disintegration.The long-awaited English-language translation of?Herv?
