In this cahier, Chevillard addresses important topics like turning fifty, water-closets, an enemy, returns, theories and eyes. Using the first letters of the keyboard as his guide, the author assembles an eclectic medley of reflections and autobiographical experiences. Yet his attempt to subject content to the formal order of a French keyboard is twice undermined: through its translation into English, and by the nature of the texts themselves, which demonstrate insistently the power exercised by disorder over writing. the text is complemented by images by the renowned French engraver and artist Philippe Favier.
