René Daumal

The Life Of The Truth
In this brief, dense essay, René Daumal bids us to resist the very notion of the truth, and to recognize it as an artistic and metaphysical dead-end. René Daumal (1908-1944) was a French poet and writer often associated with surrealism (though he fought against the label), spiritualism, and ‘pataphysics. He is perhaps best remembered for the posthumously published novel, Mount Analogue (1952).
