The third volume of Michel Leiriss renowned autobiography, now available in English for the first time in a brilliant translation by Lydia DavisA beloved and versatile author and ethnographer, French intellectual Michel Leiris is often ranked in the company of Proust, Gide, Sartre, and Camus, yet his work remains largely unfamiliar to Englishlanguage readers. This brilliant translation of Fibrils (first published as Fibrilles in 1966), the third volume of Leiriss memoir The Rules of the Game, invites us to discover why LviStrauss proclaimed Leiris incontestably one of the greatest writers of the century.Leiriss monumental autobiography, a thirtyfiveyear project, is a primary document of the examined life in the twentieth century. In Fibrils, Leiris reconciles literary commitment with social/political engagement. He recounts extensive travel and anthropological work, including a 1955 visit to Maos China, along with the mundane: his walk to work, his visits to spas and galleries, his goals as a writer. He also details his suicidal descent into Hell, when the guilt over an extramarital affair becomes unbearable and he overdoses on barbiturates. A ruthless selfexaminer, Leiris seeks to invent a new way of remembering, probe the mechanisms of memory, and explore the way a life can be told.
