En 'Vidas minúsculas', Pierre Michon entrelaza la figura del biógrafo con la del biografiado, construyendo una autobiografía a través de la reconstrucción de vidas ajenas. A lo largo de ocho capítulos, Michon explora las existencias de sus abuelos, compañeros de internado y un niño huérfano en busca de fortuna en África. Este libro, mezcla de géneros, crea un nuevo estilo literario, combinando elementos de Flaubert, Rimbaud, Faulkner, Proust y Jean Genet, ofreciendo un tono tierno y seco a la vez. Reconocido como un clásico contemporáneo en Francia, 'Vidas minúsculas' es una obra que reflexiona sobre la transformación de un hombre en escritor, explorando la grandeza y la estupidez de la condición humana a través de vidas humildes y rurales.
Pierre Michon is a French writer. His first novel, Small Lives (1984), is widely regarded as a genuine masterpiece in contemporary French literature. He has won several prizes for Small Lives and for The Origin of the World (1996) as well as for his body of work. His novels and stories have been translated into German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese, Polish, Serbian, Czech, Norwegian, Estonian, Japanese and English. He won the 2017 International Nonino Prize in Italy.With an oeuvre consisting of a stunning confessional novel—Vies minuscules (1984)—and a series of Plutarch-like "lives" devoted to famous artists and poets, Michon commands respect as a sensitive author and gifted stylist who seeks to comprehend how we can make sense out of the irrepressible impulses and unavoidable failures that fill our lives. Whether he is charting the misfortunes of the lowly, portraying his own difficult rise from rural poverty and a broken family to the completion of his first book, or plunging into the destinies of Watteau, Goya, Rimbaud, or Van Gogh, Michon poignantly captures the essence of the compelling courses our lives take.
