Pascal Quignard

Author   |  France
Pascal  Quignard - © Galilée

Pascal Quignard is one of the most important figures in the contemporary writing in France. Born in 1948 into a family of organ players, he is a cellist himself. Music is the subject of much of his published work and forms an integral part of his writing. In Boutès, a fascinating study on the astonishing and bewitching power of music, he pursues his thoughts on this theme through a poetic and personal rewriting of the legend of the Argonauts. He also adopts the form and the norms of the fairytale in this book, inspired by an inexhaustible variety of tales from Greek mythology. Boutès is a personal and lyrical re-writing of the legend of the Argonauts and the largely unknown character of Boutès himself.
