La chanson d'amour de judas iscariote
Juan Asensio - Collection Litterature cerf
Résumé
--
In this text - disconcerting in many respects - Juan Asensio evokes one of the best-known figures in Western imagination: Judas. However, this book is not merely a clinical literary or theological study whose aim is to examine a few of Judas' more memorable appearances in the works of Perutz, Claudel, Gadenne and countless others. In fact, the medieval legend (and its literary prolongation to the present today) built around the character of the loathed Traitor, the apostle Judas Iscariot who betrayed Christ, is simply the façade, what we might call the 'text' whereas the 'pretext' - the secret motif woven into the fabric of the tapestry - is an anguished meditation on that specific exigency of the word, which inevitably leads he who engages in writing to his ultimate end by sacrificing it in order to save it. Many will undoubtedly feel that the extreme pretension of such a task can only be equalled by the probable failure of the venture. Surely the desire to betray - to betray oneself, betray one's own word - presupposes an unnatural will for imposture, which no-one would wish to push to the highest possible degree: damnation. But doesn't the true writer, by allowing the bitterness - nay the veritable malediction of expression to form in his mouth - withdraw from his preoccupation with mankind, and even from his own life?
