Personne

"I don't know when I first said to myself 'my father is mad', when I adopted this word madness, this emphatic, vague, disquieting and slightly exhilarating word, which named nothing, in fact, nothing other than my anguish, that infantile terror, that panic I'd tipped over with him and that my whole adult life was trying to cover up, one call from him and all that - the garden, the summer evening, the nearby sea - would shatter, leaving me alone with him in this fragmented, mute world that was perhaps reality itself."

How can you exist when you're nobody's daughter? From A as in Antonin Artaud to Z as in Zelig, via B as in James Bond and S as in SDF, Personne is the moving portrait, in twenty-six letters, of a man who is a stranger to the world and to himself.
