The aim to create a literary portrait, which animates many of Valéry’s works and projects, is perhaps the first and seminal impulse behind L’Isle sans nom. The powerful imprint of the form of the portrait, which the writer does not manage to inscribe in the unfolding of a story, would then explain to a large extent the rapid stagnation of this dramatic project.
