James Joyce and the Revolution of the Word (Language, Discourse, Society)

Et c 'est cette saturation des varietes polymorphiques, polyphoniques, polygraphiques, polyglottiques, de la sexualite; cette deprise de la sexualite; cette ironisation ravageante de vos desirs les plus visceraux, repetes, qui vous laissent, avouez-le, embarrasses devantjoyce. Freud, joyce: une autre ere pour l'humanite. \* ## Philippe Sollers • And everything will begin again beyond the reunification, the fullness, the completeness, in that other beating rhythm of the one and the multiple which can only be written anew.
