Autoportrait by Edouard Levé

I read this slim book without knowing Levé's fate and only discovered the end after I turned the last page to reveal the bio. I guess I should have known given the title of one of his other books. Does that change what I was originally going to write? ("A celebration of life in all its idiosyncrasies.") I don't think so, but it makes me want to read it again to see if anything changes. I liked this. I like the way his mind works on the pages. Because it's the accumulation of the small things, isn't it?
