“A valley without any sheep bouncing” The fourth Memorandum

The fourth Memorandum is a singular “travel journal” (relating to a stay in Port-Vendres) whose lack of an addressee makes for a strange soliloquy. It sets out to sensitively apprehend the world, around “moments to capture,” and thus represents a remarkable example of the “literature of images.” The text is punctuated by “impressions,” which curiously omit to mention his companions, and the presence of l’Ange blanc, in the timid melancholy of a kind of tourism.
