520 "The writer and artist Frédéric Pajak was ten when he
began to "dream of a work that would mingle words and
images...bits of adventure, collected memories, sentences,
phantoms, forgotten heroes, trees, the stormy sea," but it
was not until he was in his forties that this dream took
form as The Wind of Things. The utterly original book that
he produced is a memoir born of reading and a meditation
on the lives and ideas, the motivations, feelings, and
fates of some of Pajak's heroes: Samuel Beckett and the
artist Bram van Velde, and, especially, Walter Benjamin,
whose travels to Moscow, Naples, and Ibiza, whose
experiences with hashish, whose faltering marriage and
love affairs and critique of modern experience Pajak re-
creates and reflects on in word and image. Pajak's moody
black-and-white drawings accompany the text throughout,
though their bearing on it is often indirect and all the
more absorbing for that. Between word and image, the
reader is drawn into a mysterious space that is all
Pajak's as he seeks to evoke vanished histories and to
resist a modern world more and more given over to a
present without a past"--|cProvided by publisher.
