«Essais sur les essais» is Michel Butor's critical essay, published by Gallimard in paperback (224 pages, in French).
Michel Butor analyzes how Montaigne conceived his Essais as a tribute to Étienne de La Boétie: a central work surrounded by grotesque ornaments. Over time, that initial project was transformed into a much more complex construction, a labyrinth that ends up being an instrument of personal exploration through time and places.
It appeared in 1988 in Gallimard's «nrf essais» collection.
It is a work for readers interested in French literature, the modern essay and literary criticism.
