Jacques Perry-Salkow: The Hidden Life of Words
- conference
-
congress
Does a hidden life of words exist? Do they carry with them a secret, an additional layer of meaning, something greater than their definition? Thus, the language of Molière carries the seed of the genius of love. Jacques Perry-Salkow proposes a discussion around palindromes, anagrams, and coded love letters. In "Les Dessous des mots d'amour" (Points, 2012), secrets are hidden in candid missives. With "Sorel Eros" (Rivages, 2020), a palindrome with 10,001 letters, Perry-Salkow and Frédéric Schmitter attempt to break the longest palindrome record set by Georges Perec in 1969 (5,566 letters). Jacques Perry-Salkow is a pianist and author, based in Touraine. Graduated from the Dick Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, he is passionate about constrained literature and publishes in the "Formules" Oulipian journal.
