Michel Butor is internationally recognized as one of the leading avante garde writers of France. He has written poetry, fiction, drama, criticism, and aphorisms; he has also cut across all the usual boundaries and created books, and portfolios, and even boxes, which not only include writings but also prints, found objects, and recordings. Faced with this complex and fascinating figure, Jennifer Waelti-Walters has chosen rather to explore and explain the thought and the universe of Butor than to perpetuate the usual trudging chronological survey. The result is a book which is as imaginbative and creative as the work of its subject..
