Les Marais
Ceci est le premier roman de Dominique Rolin. Quand il parut, en 1942, il fut considéré comme un événement. Voici par exemple ce que Max Jacob écrivit aussitôt à l'auteur que, trompé par le prénom, il prenait pour un romancier et non une romancière : Monsieur, vous avez, et vous seul, compris ce qui est la beauté de la création... Ce qui ne descend pas du ciel n'y remonte pas. Votre livre descend du ciel jusqu'à notre enfer et y remonte comme Notre-Seigneur est remonté des limbes ; il traîne à sa suite toute la méchanceté sournoise des hommes, leur orgueil et leur animalité... Je ne suis pas critique mais j'ai le flair de la beauté et je sais qu'elle est dans ce livre unique. Je vous salue avec respect." Max Jacob
