Written in what the author himself has called a “normalized writing,” this book visits a lifetime of moments that have in common the force of amazement, brilliance, and a flash of life. Grounded in experiences from the author’s childhood and his family’s role in the French Resistance, \u003cem\u003eComa\u003c\/em\u003e is a tale of initiation that provides an invaluable key to interpreting Guyotat’s work, past and future.
