Witches’ Sabbath by Maurice Sachs book review
Since it’s October and technically spooky time you’re probably expecting this to be a review about an actual witches’ sabbath. Alas, it is not. This book is about a French writer/play write/lots of other things that may or may not have been legal.
This book is an autobiography and it tells of this Frenchman’s rather unusual life. He didn’t make the most correct decisions, he didn’t plan things as accordingly as he could have, but he was just trying to wade through life like everyone else.
He had problems accepting himself for who he was, he plummeted several times during his twenties, worked many different jobs, some including fraud, but he never abandoned his writing. It was his therapy, as he states in his book, sure he may not have stuck with it entirely at times, but it was true passion.
Honestly, this book left me speechless. He addresses issues a lot of people don’t like talking about or just don’t understand and he talks about his mental state and the hardships he went through. He expresses the kind of relationships he had and how each one affected him. His thoughts are profound, and by the time I was finished reading this I just wanted to give him a hug.
What I liked about this so much was that he wasn’t perfect, and he went to no extent to appear that way. He was as he was.

Currently Untitled
How is it that your heart can feel like it’s racing when it’s beating the same mellow tune on the drum inside your chest?
How is it that shadows form more truth than the daylight?
Maybe our stories had shallow endings and vanity was seen as more than a paperclip—
To hold our matted souls from filling up the basin with lanolin.
Foolish vulnerability
Look what you’ve done to me.
Taking down my hair and opening my lips—
Lining my eyelids with darkened realities
And coloring my cheeks with your red tongue—
Fast beats and sullen face,
Not enough powder to summon joy.
Barely aware
Eyelids closing out the noise
Wipe off your frivolity
Stay true to that soul—
Heartbeat doesn’t lie even though it tells you it’s racing.
Your sleep is fighting for you
Fall into lucidity.
How is it I see more of you when you’re not really there?
How is it my mind fills in the gaps and starts the venture you cut out of your words?
Next morning,
Fresh eyes are a gift.
Got to walk on pavements
Focus on a task—
Not enough time to get up and wear war paint as a confidence procedure.
Heart’s a little calmer
Telling me some truths.
They’re not positive but they sure are vital.

Coffee was always my strong suit.
Took no words to drink it,
and provided a warm shelter.
Coffee was a comfort food,
As it should be.
