Untitled

An uninformative article. It tells us nothing about the man's work, why various of his works were deemed unacceptable, etc.

It's true that we don't understand why the book was banned. (By the way, two things: 1) it was a triple interdiction for Eden : exposition, publicity, selling to children under 18; that meant no "posters" as well as no critiques; 2) Tombeau was prohibited in the Army by the general Masu. Cf C. Brun, Essai biographique, Paris: Léo Scheer, 2005, p. 171-172.)

Sorry, I don't feel I'm good enough in english to write it in the main article, but there is how I would describe (not resume) Eden, Eden, Eden (as well as Tombeau): it depicts scenes with sexuality and violence that are quite horrible; there is, for example, murders and rapes (of women or men, all by men), but also child sex, incest, bestial sex, abject sex (all the human substances you can imagine has their role) as well as scenes of profanation of the deads. In Eden, most of all the "action" takes place in two brothels (one with women, one with men) and their latrines; the text is a kind of exhaustive description, which functions "slowly" I would add, of the sexual acts, positions of the bodies involved, "events" that occur around and in the bodies.

Of course, there is always a tremendous work on the syntaxe, vocabulary, metaphores done --- this is NOT simple hardcore pornography.

Since Prostitution, Guyotat's work on the french language makes it quite difficult to understand, to figure what is happening. (Some letters and syntaxic elements disappear, new words appear, there is use of arabic and other foreign languages, etc.) But the author imagines scenes which involve "sexual slaves", with original rituals, and all sorts of elements (foetus, placentas, organs trade, etc.).

I hope I helped. Kakk 15:45, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When did Guyotat leave the Communist Party?

The current English version says "1971" and the French one "1972". JmCor (talk) 05:35, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
