Notes:: 261 p, "Énorme, anormal, difforme ou sinueux, le thème baroque se développe au mépris des limites, cadres de l'image, marges de la page, frontières des genres ou des tonalités. N'y aurait-il pas, dès lors, une affinité entre le baroque et la mise en question de la loi? Entre une liberté merveilleuse et l'angoisse du vide, le baroque mène ainsi la folle sarabande de l'écriture et de la musique. L'écrivain n'est-il pas à l'image de ses personnages livre des pouvoirs de l'imaginaire, se livrant à la transgression joyeuse, et cependant inquiet de découvrir une 'loi symbolique', ou une 'loi d'expression', dans le langage d'Édouard Glissant" (Amazon);
