When the final stop was imminent, it would probably be necessary to raise one's voice, tear oneself away from the bench, jump onto the platform in the darkness, slide down the almost vertical slope, clinging to the branches of the thicket, to the overhanging rock, to the water and immediately throw oneself in. And this, against all expectations, is what did not happen.
Childhood and time are the two poles of the literary territory explored by Pierre Bergounioux. More than sixty titles, often stories that draw on his own history, have punctuated this writer's journey: that of a child born in Brive-la-Gaillarde just after the Second World War, who grew up in Corrèze before coming to Paris for his higher education, and who became decades later one of the few essential voices in the French literary landscape. Signes extérieurs looks back at the moment when the shift in the writer's life took place: the transition from childhood to adulthood, his departure for the city, and the discovery of literature, music, and love.
