SARTRE Jean-Paul (1905-1980)
Autograph manuscript in blue ink, (1970), 2 ½ pages in-4° on small-ruled paper.
First draft manuscript for the preface to André's novel L'Inachevé
Puig published in 1970. This preface can be found in Situations IX, the philosopher's collection of texts published in 1972 under the title "Je, Tu, Il".
"Puig has won. He is to Georges what Georges is to Marcel, Lucien,
Robert. He totalizes Georges, as a certain individual who can only be totalized in the imaginary and whom any totalization only determines incompletely. But also as someone who lives all the temporal dimensions. In this sense, the three characters are essential characterizations of Georges. First, they show that he needs to imagine himself in order to know himself. And conversely, that his knowledge is complacent in imagining him: that he likes, by a kind of violence, to confine himself in a definitive challenge while refusing to totalize (...) In my opinion, this is the first time that multi-dimensionality is given to be seen. But this is done indirectly (...) The imaginary is there: because "he is a totalizer, Georges will recount the details of his life against the backdrop of a totalization that has already been made, in fact imaginary (...) We are at the level of romantic poetry. These formulas are made at the level of the characters.
They are the ones who think this, which allows George a certain ironic detachment. But he ignores and Puig knows that he is painting himself as a man with a taste for romantic formulas. A detail that is missing from his imaginary totalization, that is to say, from the formula itself.
And in general, it is not possible to reconcile these hasty challenges, which are precisely those that another could make, with his fascination with what Nathalie Sarraute called "tropisms". As for his characters, it's another matter: they are not imaginary totalizations but imaginary determinations in the sense that determination is negation. While waiting to write his exhaustive novel, he wrote a short story about the first year of his stay in Paris (...)"
In this preface, Sartre examines a theory according to which a human group exists on several levels simultaneously. Sartre bases his work on the novel by André Puig, a young "black jacket" from Toulouse who arrived in Paris in the early sixties and who was to become a contributor to Temps Modernes.
