The various characters that inhabit Parisâs Jardin des Plantes share their researches and knowledge with one another, just as they share petty jealousies, admirations, and dislikes of one another. Through the eye of the unnamed narrator, Frémon creates a world of what often seems like random bits of knowledge but is, in fact, an interconnecting skein of ideasâphilosophical, scientific, religious, and literaryâthat questions and searches out the meaning of everyday life and, just as importantly, how each of us experience it. Or, do we experience it? Are we each lost in our own conception of things? With wit, humor and a profound sense of intellectual curiosity, Frémon explores just these issues.
Director of the famed art gallery, Galerie DeLong in Paris, Jean Frémon is the author of numerous works, including Le jardin botanique (The Botanical Garden), LâExhibitionnisme et sa pudeur, and, in English, Painting and Proustiennes.
