It's clear, even amidst his more rhapsodic passages, that this is his loss and he knowns it, not any failing of the women who move through his life and depart on to their own.

So while Nerval may in some way illustrate the type of literary representation as de Beauvoir suggest, I was pleasantly surprised by the self-awareness by which he makes it rather more useful and interesting.

This sounds li I strongly caution anyone who treasures the precious little time they have on this beautiful, big, blue planet not to squander it reading the work of Gerard Labrunie inspired to use the name Nerval in homage to the estate of a wealthy ancestor.
This sounds like a drastic measure, but maybe one of these two scenarios will help you summon your inner strength: Nevermind the compelling sidenote that after botching the re-wiring of this primitive telecommunications device, his squad discovered they were somehow able to place calls to JUGS, sending the platoon into a downward spiral of lethargy and preposterous beat-off sessions previously unknown to the annals of Asian history.
It comes as no surprise to me that this edition was published by Exact Change. It also seems like they select their authors more on the grounds of ridiculous shit they gained notoriety for, rather than any actual talent for telling a decent story, highlighted by their tendency to preface each weak edition with a cute little narrative on just how uncouth the author was instead of mentioning anything which might have something to do with the actual book or any justification for publishing it, other than to perpetuate the fallacy that because some well-heeled cretin acting like a goddam nimrod has something to say there might be something of worth buried amidst the ramblings.
Such appear to be demanding criteria which Exact Change sets for the scribes of truly inspiring and timeless literature.
Gerard Nerval somehow managed to squeeze a little writing into his hectic schedule of naked poetry readings and eating ice cream from a skull while on leave from psychiatric care. In consideration for the other nekkid freaks at the clothing-optional beach where we decided to catch a few rays, I realized it would be a travesty to befoul the lake in this manner.
The story is pretty simple; a turgid tale of unrequited and senseless infatuation for a stage-actress Aurelia on behalf of a maladjusted loser Nerval. Let us say rather that I dressed up with this idea the keenest remorse at a life spent in foolish dissipation, a life in which evil had often triumphed, and whose errors I did not recognize until I felt the blows of misfortune.
The second half of the book manages to decrease in quality. Of course, it might not be coincidental that I also realized the book was drawing to a close at this point. View all 5 comments. Dream is a second life. What is it about?!
The creation of new life! Deconstruction and manipulation of religious iconography for cove Dream is a second life. Deconstruction and manipulation of religious iconography for covert purposes! Obscure references to apocryphal texts! Transcendence from the corporeal world! The degree of autobiography contained within the text is irrelevant. Suffice it to say that the man led a fascinating life, he really lived , and he wrote a fascinating book into which he likely poured a lot of raw material from that life.
From the moment I became certain that I was subject to sacred initiatory rights, an invincible force entered my spirit. I considered myself a living hero in the eyes of gods. Everything in nature took on new aspects, and secret voices emanated from plants, trees, animals, and the smallest insects, in order to warn me and encourage me. The language of my companions held a mysterious refrain which only I was able to comprehend, objects without shape or life lent themselves to my mental calculations; — from combinations of pebbles, from the shape of corners, crevices or openings, from the patterns of leaves, from colors, odors, and sounds, I saw emerge harmonies which had hitherto remained unknown — how, I asked myself, have I been able to exist estranged from nature for so long, without identifying with her?
All things live, act, and relate to one another; magnetic rays emanating from myself or from others cross, without obstacle, the infinite chasm of all creation; these form a transparent network that covers the globe, and each separate thread communicates, one by one, to the stars and planets. Momentarily captive upon the earth, I take part in the universal chorus, which shares in all my joys and sorrows!
Jul 30, Mitch rated it it was amazing. The ultimate poet's poet, Nerval merges his dream world with the world we all share in these prose pieces, bringing about a kind of romantic apocalypse. Gorgeous and harrowing at the same time, the delicate pubescent longing of Sylvie becomes the cosmic eschatological last one standing narrative of Aurelia. Not for everybody, though. Some might find his romanticism a bit much. It is just right. Aug 03, Richard rated it really liked it.
As close as you can get to watching a person go insane, which means it's a wince-fest. Some amazing prose, like for instance the first paragraph. Last pages of this autobiographical novel were found in Nerval's pocket as he was dangling from the wooden beam he hanged himself from. Jun 21, Tess rated it it was amazing Shelves: Written as a novella but pure poetry. Nov 16, Darin rated it it was amazing. I wish everyone would read this book. Oct 05, Joe Dwyer rated it it was amazing Shelves: These stories encapsulate a deep and passionate longing for idolized woman, esoteric deism, and autobiographical traveling.
Breton placed Nerval in the highest echelon of Surrealist heroes for a good reason. There is a particular reclusiveness that lies within Nerval's writing that identifies solely with a limited number of individuals.

For this reason, Nerval will not be understood by everyone that attempts reading his dream-inspired writings. Left are these documents; short story accounts of an author's unnerving downfall.
