Absinthe ReviewAbsinthe, the luminescent, green liquor that was imbued by such artists as Vincent van Gogh and Édouard Manet and writers such as Arthur Rimbaud and which reportedly influenced their artistic output, is the centerpiece of this thin tome by the French writer Christophe Bataille.
Unlike say Thomas de Quincey who wrote of the dangers and paranoia involved with drug use in Confessions of an English Opium-Eater or the romanticized drug use in Claude Farrere's Black Opium, Absinthe details the life of a single man who, before absinthe was made illegal in France, was being groomed to be an absinthe distiller by an enormous, gentle man nicknamed Jose, a man with a mysterious past and with connections in Buenos Aires and New York.
The Narrator details his family's history at the same time speaking of his love for Jose and his fondness for watching the large man create the liquor that made him famous to the locals who traveled to his cabin in an almost religious like pilgrimage to gain the substance that would open their senses to the furthest reaches of perception.
Bataille's writing style is quite sparse, but it has an almost dreamlike quality to it, as if the reader was sifting through the mud of the mind to find stones of distant memories. A quite decent little novella which should appeal to those who enjoy the writings of William S. Burroughs and the like, Absinthe would make a nice addition to the shelves of those who want to peel back the surface of reality to see what is beneath.
