| Description | “The Peninsula” is a triptych of three novellas by Julien Gracq and the last of his books in which fictional invention still predominates over memory and autobiography. It contains “The Road”, “The Peninsula” and “King Cophetua”, works that bring together central motifs of Gracq’s mature writing: waiting, travel, liminal spaces, landscape as an extension of the protagonist’s inner state and the persistent presence of something unspoken and almost mythological. In “The Road”, a detailed description of an abandoned route gradually acquires a fantastical scale. “The Peninsula” transforms a car journey across the Breton peninsula into an exploration of memory, desire and space itself, while in “King Cophetua” a tightly controlled composition conceals a network of literary and mythological motifs. Gracq’s prose combines the legacy of Romanticism and Surrealism, Wagnerian imagery and the trained spatial sensibility of a geographer, while remaining entirely distinctive in style. |
