Lover of Molag with details

A brief about the book: Anatole Vazanbian lived in Poitiers, France, during the interwar period, and worked in a public bath. He was distinguished by an amazing talent for capturing details, describing the hands that soap was handed to him, sneaking glances at bathers, describing the colors of their skin, their body movements, and the scents emanating from them... Vazanbian meets a Japanese photographer who owns an old library in the city, develops his talent to the fullest, and begins photographing objects instead of documenting them. But his obsession with details and his insatiable love for beauty quickly led him to his tragic end. Alberto Manguel takes us into the enchanting worlds of the city of Poitiers, to rewrite in his captivating style the life story of Anatole Vazanbian, in a semi-fantasy, semi-real adventure that narrates the biography of an artist and a lover passionate about details. Publisher: Saqil. Author: Alberto Manguel. Number of pages: 94.
