by Kevin Boileau (Author)
In this oblique continuation of his earlier work, The Patient, Boileau pushes our conceptions of the self even further than before through the exercise of semantic irony and oblique parrhesia. Through mnemotechnics, Boileau displaces our normal conceptions of temporality and theodicy, giving us another minimalist novella that strains our bourgeois sentiments and awakens us like black coffee. It is anti-Balzacian and yet very much not so. Couragio!
Author Biography
Kevin Boileau, Ph.D., J.D., LL.M., has been writing about the human condition for several years. All of his several theoretical and literary publications pursue an understanding of the vagaries, struggles, and foibles of the Western self and its multiude of narrative structures. Boileau is a social critic, interested in our political condition and, as such, brings to bear the methodologies of psychoanalysis and phenomenology to his work. He writes in the style of French minimalism and is considered a radical existentialist though he might eschew the term. He is also the author of several books and articles and a regular speaker at local colloquia.
