«L'imparfait du présent» is a collection of short pieces by Alain Finkielkraut, published by Gallimard in paperback (315 pages, in French).
The book brings together short pieces written during the first year of the third millennium. Finkielkraut interrogates current events with the question «what is happening?» rather than «what is it?», proposes extracting what is memorable from events, confronting great historical processes with the unpredictability of each conjuncture, and seeking truth in appearances.
The work was originally published in 2002; this edition in the Folio collection (no. 3945) dates from 2003.
A title for those who enjoy philosophical reflection applied to events and the short essay.
Alain Luc Finkielkraut is a French essayist, radio producer, and public intellectual. Since 1986, he has been the host of Répliques, a talk show broadcast weekly on France Culture. He was elected a Fellow of the Académie Française in 2014.
