| Review | "A wide-ranging study of Prevert's promethean imagination and creativity in the interwoven realms of theatre, film, poetry, art, photography, and song, Michael Bishop's Jacques Prevert seeks to demonstrate the originality of a genial fabricator of image and word whose essential focus, unpretentious yet urgently felt, unintellectualised yet buoyantly and wittily intelligent, ever remains the quality of our daily being-in-the-world, the possibility of our self-transformation, the stunning availability - should we truly will it, and despite all that can weigh upon existence, above all ideologically - of joy and love and freedom."--Jacket |
