«La Presqu'île» is the volume of three stories by Julien Gracq, published by José Corti in paperback (251 pages, in French).
The volume brings together three stories: «La route», a wandering reverie set against a backdrop of civilization in ruins; «La presqu'île», which follows Simon on a drive around the Guérande peninsula while he awaits a feared and desired meeting; and «Le Roi Cophetua», a wait that drifts toward an unsettling outcome.
The title belongs to the Domaine français collection from José Corti; the original publication dates to 1970.
A read for those who appreciate literary and classic French fiction, as well as the descriptive prose of Julien Gracq.
Julien Gracq was a French writer. He wrote novels, critiques, a play, and poetry. His literary works were noted for their dreamlike abstraction, elegant style and refined vocabulary. He was close to the surrealist movement, in particular its leader André Breton.
