Le désir... Et ses embrouilles
L’enfant demande au kabbaliste : pourquoi suis-je né ? Le kabbaliste répond : parce que tu l’as désiré.
Le ton est ainsi donné qui met à distance le gène, l’hormone et la synapse tout en écartant le désir de l’envie, du besoin, du souhait... Si le desiderium latin évoque le « regret d’une absence », c’est sans doute pour corréler le désir au manque. Mais ce manque, peut-on le combler ? Les objets échangés, accumulés, collectionnés avec frénésie s’avèrent inaptes à satisfaire le désir lequel, de ce fait, impassible et indestructible ne se connaît qu’un objet : lui même !
Bien sûr que l’Autre y est intéressé. Cet Autre, que me veut-il ?
L’objet de mon désir n’est-il pas d’abord le sien ? Ainsi serai-il, le désir, passant par ici, repassant par là, glissant entre les mots, insaisissable, toujours énigmatique...

About the author
Marc Levy
195 books4,434 followersMarc Levy was born in France. When he turned eighteen, he joined the Red Cross, where he spent the next six years. In 1983, he created a computer graphics company based in France and the United States. Six years later, he co-founded an interior design and planning company with two friends; the company soon became one of the leading architecture firms in France.
At thirty-seven, Marc Levy wrote a story for the man that his son would grow up to be. In early 1999, his sister, a screenwriter (now a film director), encouraged him to send the manuscript to a French publisher, who immediately decided to publish If Only It Were True. Before it was published, Steven Spielberg (Dreamworks) acquired film rights to the novel. The movie, Just like Heaven, starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo, was a #1 box office hit in America in 2005.
After If Only It Were True, Marc Levy began writing full-time. Since then, he has written 18 novels. His work has been translated into 49 languages and has sold over 40 million copies worldwide.
In addition, Marc Levy has directed a short movie, written short stories and song lyrics for various artists, including Johnny Hallyday.
Le Figaro newspaper recently commissioned a nationwide poll asking the French to rank their favorite author: Marc Levy and Victor Hugo were #1.
