Vanitas - Étienne Lécroart (trans. Philip Terry)

"Vanité" by Étienne Lécroart, translated into English by Philip Terry. A sensitive and nostalgic work imagining those moments when we will do, see, and experience things, grandiose or banal, for the final time. An invitation to enjoy each moment as if it were the last, from a book whose final page itself presents its own remarkable, constraint-based revelation.
