In fluid prose, Julien Gracq navigates again— this time in memory/&mdashthe magical Evre and the terrain through which it coursed in his youth. The Narrow Waters is a synaptic meditation on Begining and Ending whose inquiries and visions flow, and sometimes cascade, through a landscape of phantoms, flora, and fairy tale.

Biografisk notat

Julien Gracq (1910-2007), born Louis Poirier in Saint-Florent-le-Vieil, was one of the greatest French writers of the twentieth century. His work includes essays, criticism, fiction, and journalism. He won but refused the Prix Goncourt in 1951 for his novel Le Rivage des Syrtes (The Opposing Shore). This retiring and misunderstood figure said he wrote "to settle a score with expression itself, to give form, stability, precision to things that are vague in the mind."
