Autoportrait dans l'atelier, Giorgio Agamben
(Part of Catherine Millet’s theme: (Auto)biography)

This book is a self-portrait, but only insofar as, at the end, the reader will be able to decipher its features through the patient examination of images, photographs, objects, paintings present in the studios where the author has worked and still works. Agamben's challenge is, therefore, to succeed in talking about himself only and exclusively by talking about others: poets, philosophers, painters, musicians, friends, passions - in short, the encounters and confrontations that decided his formation and nourished and still nourish his own writing, from Heidegger to Elsa Morante, from Melville to Benjamin, from Giorgio Caproni to Giovanni Urbani.
