Letters to K.

 

Description

A man is in prison. He writes to the woman he loves. From the depths of his cell, he shares with her his pains, his doubts, and his hopes. This man is the writer and activist Pierre Goldman. Fifty years later, a selection of these letters finally comes to light.

Goldman reveals himself to be a passionate letter writer, a highly sensitive soul, a lover shifting between restraint and abandon, a Caribbean music fanatic, a sharp-eyed observer, a satirist with biting humor. Far from the dark legend under which some sought to bury him, he asserts himself as a vibrant being, enamored with life and never willing to accept the roles he was assigned to, always in motion, to the point of exhaustion.

It is in the name of this truth that Christiane Succab-Goldman, the recipient of these letters, decided to publish them, weaving them with texts of her own writing, as if in echo. Deeply moving, the result is a rebuttal to all the misunderstandings, fantasies and allegations that never ceased to cast their shadow over the figure of Pierre Goldman.

 

Texts selected and commented by Christiane Succab-Goldman.
