«L'edat d'home» is the autobiography of Michel Leiris, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (160 pages, in Catalan).
Autobiography in which Michel Leiris explores his life: personal relationships, obsessions, and reflections on art and literature. The author argues that the writer must take personal risks in their work, and turns the metaphor of bullfighting into the core of his autobiographical project.
Originally published in 1939. This 1992 Catalan edition, translated by Ramon Lladó Soler, is preceded by «De la literatura considerada com una tauromàquia» (MOLU s.XX collection).
For readers interested in autobiography, twentieth-century French literature, and reflection on the craft of writing.
