Playing the Inside Out / Le jeu des apparences: The Antonine Maillet-Northrop Frye Lecture Series

Autor David Adams Richards
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 feb 2008
Playing the Inside Out is David Adams Richard's distilled insight on the artist's struggle for full access to artistic integrity by remaining an outsider to convention. Richards conjures forth his vision of eternal truths commonly held by all mankind, a Miramichi cosmic consciousness that he has been working at all his life. In an entertaining, remonstrating, and ultimately uplifting essay he identifies how conformity and laziness poison artists, and the great pressures that exist for writers to "join the herd." No one can possibly read this essay and not find comments or conclusions that directly relate to them. The writer's challenge to find and protect one's inner honesty is deeply familiar to anyone seeking to be faithful to the true sense of "I" that dominates motivation and judgement. So personal are the truths that Richards lays out, that anyone who reads will feel Richards' passion and find value in his practical wisdom and encouragement. Playing the Inside Out is shrewd analysis; a personal advisory directed at artists and writers in particular. But Richards' topic and manner of address are egalitarian. He is telling us to be who we are - honestly, consistently, and with heart. Depuis plus de trente ans, l'crivain David Adams Richardspuise dans l'exprience de la marginalit de la Miramichipour approfondir l'intrieur de l'tre humain, l o de loge le vrai. Dans cet essai, Richards dpeint le rapport de rsistance crative qu'il entretient avec l'altrit stigmatisant qui menace l'authenticit et exprime son apptence d'aller au-del des apparences. L'approche sociale et existentielle qu'il adopte dans son parcours littraire et personnel privilgie la rvlation d'un vrai possible, qu'il incarne assurment lui-mme en tant qu'crivain. Tel qu'il le fait dans son essai et l'instar de ses romans, David Adams Richards contredit, dplace et transforme le discours hgmonique pour privilgier le vrai. L'crivain nous raconte des histoires qui se droulent dans un endroit qui devient seul lieu et tout lieu. L'esthtique du rcit assume l'authenticit que possde une valeur d'expansion permettant d'accder des lois plus puissantes. La dmarche de Richards s'inscrit humblement dans une tentative de sonder une ralit plus proche de l'tre fondamental, voire universelle, au-del des apparences.

Notă biografică

David Adams Richards was born in Newcastle, New Brunswick. His celebrated body of work has earned numerous awards and accolades to date, most notably for his prose, poetry, novels, and screenplays. All examine the fundamental conflict between individual conscience and truth versus community, history, and perceptions. The first novel in his Miramichi trilogy, Nights Below Station Street, received the Governor Generals Award for fiction in 1988. Lines On the Water, about fishing on the Miramichi, won the Governor General's Award for non-fiction in 1998, making Richards one of a very select group; he is only the third person to win Governor General literary awards in two different categories.
