In Writing, My Life Slips Away

Raphaële George's work is as brief as it is intense, with only two books published in her lifetime. Yet this overlooks the vast, unseen world of manuscripts she left behind when she died in 1985 at the age of 34. This volume presents, in its entirety, a notebook discovered in her archives. Dated 1982, it reveals a turning point in her writing—toward the fragment, the unsaid—and sheds light on the journey of an incomparable poet, shaped by both her force and her ghosts.
