A singular text, captivating and infinitely poignant, it assembles and explores what has always been the strength of Mathieu Lindon’s work: intimacy narrated with perfect pitch, openly stating what was without straying from a reserve which is also respect.”

“An exercise in a love that is not blind, a practice of boundless admiration, An Archive is a magnificent literary tombstone.”
