Bilheran, A. "André Suarès, l'âme en incandescence", in Antipresse n°380, 12 mars 2023.
The mark of genius is to enlighten us, even post-mortem, when times become confusing and dark. However, the most powerful stars are not always easily recognizable at first glance. We must learn to put on the right glasses to distinguish their enlightenment. Immense French author of the first half of the twentieth century, normalien, great traveler, pianist, poet, playwright, thinker, philosopher, André Suarès, through his commitments against totalitarian ugliness and in favor of beauty and spirit, is an urgent reading or rereading.

Suarès, Vues sur l'Europe.
