Toujours l’enfance

This study unfolds the personal landscapes of Jean-Claude Pirotte’s œuvre. Between biography and personal myth, childhood and writing go together since to write, Pirotte notes in Plis perdus, “is, in the end, to attempt, a reunion with childhood at all costs. To tell the child stories, his, ours, and to tremble at never making them quite true enough, quite childlike or musical enough”.
