Summoning a collection of ghosts and forgotten heroes, illustrious artists and fellow travelers, Frédéric Pajak launched his great work in nine volumes in 2012. At the rate of one title per year, he travels in the company of Walter Benjamin, André Breton and Nadja, Hannah Arendt, Edward Hopper, Van Gogh, Gébé, Beckett, Cesare Pavese, Schmol and Bugnol, Ezra Pound, the poets Emily Dickinson and Marina Tsvetaieva, Mix & Remix, Ernest Renan, Paul Léautaud…
