Abstract: "The elusive French luminary Joseph Joubert is a great explorer of the mind's open spaces. Edited and translated by Paul Auster, this selection from Joubert's notebooks introduces a master of the enigmatic who seeks 'to call everything by its true name' while asking us to 'remember everything is double.' 'Joubert speaks in whispers,' Auster writes. 'One must draw very close to hear what he is saying'" --Page 4 of cover.
