For José Cabanis, books are one of the surest pleasures in this world, and reading is an art of delight. The essays he publishes are not those of a professional critic. They show a writer who loves to read, and who shares his pleasure. Nothing is more demanding, more clear-sighted than pleasure: you don't cheat with it. It is deserved, moreover, and implies an intimate knowledge, a long practice, approaches, feedback, a lot of memories, a loving application. From Descartes to Julien Green, this is how José Cabanis approaches the writers he talks about. What unites this book is a complete lack of objectivity - it is written in the first person -, it is a certain tone that shakes up conventions and spares nothing, sometimes passionate, sometimes ironic, it is a voice like no other.
