«Vides minúscules» is Pierre Michon's novel, published by Amsterdam in paperback (208 pages, in Catalan).
Through portraits of eight unassuming characters who lived in La Creuse between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Pierre Michon mixes reality and fiction to pursue fleeting memories and ephemeral lives. That inquiry into the minimal leads him to seek his own identity and create a highly poetic literary voice, in dialogue with Flaubert, Rimbaud, Proust and Genet.
Work originally published in 1984 under the title «Vies minuscules»; this Catalan edition includes the translation by Adrià Pujol Cruells.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction who value intimate portraits of anonymous lives and poetic prose.
