The work of Pierre Michon is just as inspired by the land - the rough landscapes of Ireland - as marked by men. Minuscule Lives, or majestic lives, lives of painters and writers, live of the poor who have strayed from destiny that he depicts with a steady and singular stroke. Haunted by the correspondences between art and life, Pierre Michon does not consider writing work, but rather a revelation. His scholarly and refined language seems dictated by necessity, his books are a singular break between the factual narrative and the use of fiction.
