Descriere
Jean de La Ville de Mirmont left behind one undisputed classic,self-published a few months before he would meet his fate on the frontlines of World War I:an understated,almost humorous tale of urban solitude and alienation that outlines the mediocrity of bureaucratic existence.
Jean Dzertisan officeworker employed by the ministry ,who round south is regimented life with snippets of Eastern philosophy,strolls through the city and consumerist efforts atinjecting content into his life by structuring his Sundays throug harigorous use of advertising flyers that take him from saunas to vegetarian restaurants to lectures on sexual hygiene. In his mortal boredom,his modernist engagement with the banality of the everyday and his almost heroic resignation to mediocrity,JeanDzert emerges as something of a French counterpart to Herman Melville's own rebel bureaucrat,Bartleby the Scrivener--savethatwhenitcomestobeinganexistentialrebel,JeanDzertgoesevenfurtherinhiswilltoprefernotto."JeanDzertislikeabrothertome,"wroteMichelHouellebecq,"becauseofhisabilitytoescapedespairbymeansofemptiness."JeandeLaVilledeMirmont(1886-1914)waskilledbyashellexplosionontheWorldWarIbattlefront.Heleftbehindacollectionofpoetrythatwouldbepublishedposthumously,acollectionofshortstoriesandthenovellaforwhichheisremembered,TheSundaysofJeanDzert.
