Alongside his notable works, but what works Gabrielle Wittkop is not?-collection of three stories featuring a character whose death is imminent guess, Departures copies demonstrates once again the charm possessed by the pen of this most fascinating artist a title.

Featuring no fewer than three times the word fetish Gabrielle Wittkop ("crosshairs") and reusing, but less systematically, the anaphoric process, characteristic of the famous novel Death C. , the first news we interfered in the nineteenth century in the spirit of Idalia, designer of 17 who dream of a trip to climb aboard a balloon. What could be more natural therefore to see the young Scots take the road that leads to the foot of the tower of a tower overlooking the Rhine near Koblenz, unexpected model of artistic sketches, dreaming of the Highlander Bonnie Dundee loyal to King James, once betrayed by a traitor servant. Suspended time Animated impulsive thoughts by long-term dreams that make you forget time snacks to share with family and the way back. Using the stairs which lead to the top places, she finds herself trapped on the platform burg because of a boot which she believes she embodies the perfidy suffered by the original Highlander shows. Weakened by climatic conditions and the contingencies of his situation, lighter than the crows that fly, she embarked, in spirit at least on the car of a vessel departing to destinations closer to heaven than earth. From call to call, cries in despair cries of distress, the girl vies for invention to renew contact with civilization, up to propel off of pigeons that may arise at the foot of a Solitary Walker. Yet, despite signs that speak the local population, none of its members made the connection between healthy signs, visions, memories and echoes of his moans washed away by the wind, and the mysterious disappearance, now made public.

Unlike the first, the text concludes the book, A descent we rushed on him in the basement of hell New York which scrapes a population of hobos , whose review varies blithely estimated ones and others.
recently Abandoned by his girlfriend who operated illegally work in the shoe business she holds, Seymour finds himself overnight in the precarious sprawling city. Symbol of the gradual defection of his fate, his belly protruding slightly at the abdomen, is dragged causing a wreck like the wreck of his unfeeling owner, who is confronted with the dregs of society in a maze where rotting hordes of homeless painfully surviving on meager food being returned by the decaying metropolis, and that use recycled paper journals of scholarship to make a mattress to the ground.
Devoured by vermin, the hapless vagabond who has spent his last days in the underground, paradoxically know a similar purpose to the young Idalia.

The central text of the collection, Nights Baltimore, presents the last days of Egar Allan Poe whose death has generated theories as diverse tuberculosis, epilepsy, diabetes, rabies, acute alcoholism among many others. Gabrielle
Wittkop, it seems to suggest the predominance of the assumption of corruption and violence that raged covertly during elections.
The exchange of uniforms made in this seedy hotel in Baltimore with a man in the face of darkness and the decline of the black man in the tavern "Gunner's Hall temporarily transformed poll, invite us to think that this ale was forced by his captors to forego his right to vote Basic.
The story teems with references to the history of the author. Thus, the two men mentioned at the outset of the arrival of the character in the city who praised his talent prematurely, are Thomas W. White, the editor of the Southern Literary Messenger who enlisted in 1835, and John P. Kennedy, who was a member Jury Baltimor Visit Saturday when the author's native Boston, and future friend of Kennedy, received the first prize in 1833 for Manuscript Found in a Bottle .
Perry, meanwhile, the only fellow man who decides to visit is the other name of Edgar Allan Poe.
In addition, William Gowans, bookseller who shared the first floor of the New York home of the couple has truly Virginia described his wife as the fact Gabrielle Wittkop "Eye of cheers and a profile that had attempted Canova. "The valuable
bag that carries the character ever, in order that affects an obsession, almost certainly contains the leaves of a work in progress which, however, ignores the precise nature.
Although attractive, the rapprochement between the famous exclamation uttered by Albert Einstein at its discovery to formulate relativity, suddenly pronounced by the character and Eureka, title of the essay Poe appears, however, lead an impasse, since the work was already published when the story unfolds.
"Oh Susannah" is the beginning of a couplet repeatedly inserted into the new, and This is the same song title of Stephen Foster of 1848, combined with the gold rush in California, which is found in the text this track through their disillusionment rescued drowning in alcohol a tavern. The missive
companion in misfortune to the man in black, addressed to Dr. Snodgrass in order to save him, we returned with a near-accurate, except the identity of ethyl coma which is omitted here. Moreover, the cabaret where the victim is lying is called in the text Wittkop "The Raven" , explicit reference to Poe's legendary poem which comes the epitaph engraved on his tomb:

"Quoth the Raven,
" Nevermore. " "

Gabrielle Wittkop perpetuates the myth of the harpies



Harpy nest on the facade of the Palace of the Rhine in Strasbourg


Work atypical Gabrielle Wittkop , The Almanac perpetual harpies, subtitled "with explanation of their origins, customs, habits, metamorphoses and intended, "has a strange set of variations around the figure of the harpy. Composed of poems, short excerpts encyclopedic, mythological allusions, correspondences imaginary, fictional news items, testimonies fabricated, false Ballad of several cruel tales, but some riddles and limericks, it is primarily a puzzle play with different pieces meet each other in a spirit of malicious and earthy look great. If the tone shifts from one register to another with disconcerting ease, the image of the harpy remains present to the reader's mind throughout the book with a red wire, the texts remain attached while progressively acquiring autonomy vis-à-vis the figure rooted in Greek mythology. Alternately toothed cylinder resulting in a comical exchange between the manager of a pulp mill and the manufacturer of machines used within it, rather bawdy night butterfly fascinating the Harpy is transformed to the whim wittkopienne which warns the reader very quickly this way:

"But who can know the metamorphoses of the Harpies?
constantly changing over the centuries, they adopted the faces always repeated, always renewed, pours into each other in perpetual motion like the sea where they were born. "

Wittkop Gabrielle strives to demonstrate its presence in the modern chaos unsuspected, to track its apparitions invisible to ordinary mortals also looks Cryptologic, while retaining a degree of self-mockery non-negligible.

Far from being innocent, the choice of the harpy can be seen as a parable of the author herself, whose work often has confused the public and has been the victim of a controversial interpretation of the narrow and responding to stigma associated with themes and titles chosen, giving off a faint smell of sulfur.
Drawing black and white plumage appears to enter the contrasting fate of an artist who was considered heretical by the censors, and rehabilitated before being reviewed by his peers as a venerable author, with a legendary bird, able to grip the reader as a vulnerable prey.

The monstrosity includes so imprecise, distorted in a way, all classes of the population, which escape, one way or another, with the conventions that govern nature. If that is repulsive deformity Elementary these unusual beings, the singularities of each prompt to enter their world multiple.

Are not decently brought us to ask ourselves about the real identity of the monster? Whoever without restraint themselves to the vices of mankind does he not more stigma than the monstrosity that must suffer the differences of nature?

In the first story that gives the title to the collection, it was the visitors an asylum gathering phenomena show that excite the perversity of those offering them champagne to attend an orgy where they'll remain on the sidelines.

When compassion and pity mingled with repulsion, monstrosity is a polymorphism that sparkles upset the feelings of the lover.

Monsters or chimeras? This is not so much the object being observed is important here that the spirit of one who confronts them. In Like father, like daughter the way mirror, windshield protecting privacy, turned to the erotic life of his paternal and double fantasy, allows Gabrielle feasible alter-ego of the author who has never hidden his homosexuality to have, by stealth, access via proxy connection to the dark side of sexuality of his mistresses, while espousing the view the contours of the desired woman who later reappear in the same bed that it.

Loneliness creates the Harley conditions conducive to the emergence of a figure likely to obsessively fill gaps in love with the isolated and with only death could stop permanently. Harley, avatar, which to survive the visions of Jean-Marie, must stand on its own, be reincarnated in creature supervisor angelic dreams of being loved, the risk of waking up in hell of a terrible start. In

Corridor network and intricate underground galleries, interconnected by a maze of spiral staircases and unsuspected hollows, the urban labyrinth is shown by the abominable innocent games of hide and seek causes it, and it plays the role developer early provisions for lust, eventually becoming the scene of crimes perpetrated against these children who dared defied the ban. Tormented by its construction and elusive, with its irresistible, the palace seems to represent the negative of the human brain.

Series disparate and disturbing The sleep of reason has a atmosphere and a charm which the writing was literally poisonous contaminated beyond reading.
