L'auteur de {Vus d'un autre monde} nous offre ici des fragments de sa vie, certains �v�nements surgis du pass� qu'Edm�e de la Rochefoucauld �claire de coups de projecteur, d'o� le titre de ces brefs m�moires {Flashes}. Si la pens�e de Nietzsche: "Dites-vous bien qu'il ne vous arrivera jamais rien d'autre que vous-m�me" est plac�e en �pigraphe de l'ouvrage, il s'y trouve l'aveu de Jean de la Fontaine: "Je mourrais d'ennui si je ne composais plus", ce qui "�claire" �galement, sans doute, ces lignes extraites de l'ouvrage: "Ecrire c'est une mani�re de vivre qui distingue l'�crivain des autres humains. C'est avoir l'esprit, m�me inconsciemment, sans cesse en �veil pour capter quelque fait, pour sentir sa diff�rence avec les autres, pour saisir brusquement le temps d'un �clair la v�rit� profonde, une r�alit� que {personne} avant lui n'avait per�ue, bref l'�crivain est celui pour qui le monde, en un point, se d�couvre, se r�v�le, et il faut se h�ter de voir ce que les autres n'ont jamais vu, mais qui, apr�s la page publi�e, va leur devenir � jamais familier. L'�crivain fait conna�tre ce qui, soudain, lui est apparu � un instant inattendu. Echappant � la banalit� des opinions re�ues, au quotidien, dans le tissu habituel de la vie, il a fait un trou. Il s'est �vad�."
