Prolific essayist, translator, and critic Pascal Quignard has described his Last Kingdom series as something truly unique. He asserts that it doesn't fall into any conventional genre categories like philosophical argumentation, short learned essays, or novelistic narration. Instead, it emerges from a phase of his work where the concept of genre has been liberated, resulting in a modern, secular, and unconventional worldview.
In his latest installment, Abysses, Quignard introduces us to yet more intriguing and contemplative characters, whose souls are captivated by the events that shaped their existence. He writes with a rich blend of anecdotes, reflections, aphorisms, and quotations, offering enigmatic glimpses into the present and confident borrowings from the past. However, when Quignard delves into the darker corners of human history, he approaches it not as a historian but as an antiquarian. His primary interest lies in pursuing stories that transcend time and resonate with timelessness.
Through his writing, Quignard invites readers to explore the complexities of human nature, societal norms, and the enduring power of storytelling. His Last Kingdom series is a testament to his talent as a writer, as he effortlessly weaves together various literary elements to create a captivating and thought-provoking narrative. Whether you're a fan of historical fiction or simply seeking a fresh perspective on the world, Quignard's work is sure to leave a lasting impression.
