I'm talking about Emil Cioran, his life and works, particularly his first book, On The Heights of Despair, written when he was 22 years old.

I'm also talking about Cioran's influences and two writers I absolutely adore, Nietzsche and Dostoevsky.

I propose the idea that this is NOT a depressing book, but rather a serenade to life. I will soon post a clip in which I will explain his concept of suicide as a way to protect his freedom.

And I also talk, in the end, about how Cioran helped me with my suicidal thoughts. It is because of him that I am still alive today. We're talking about a writer who fell in love when he was 75 years old, a writer who loved life and regreted not being a musician, nor, at least, as he rather puts it in his journal/notebooks (1957-1972), a poet.
"Eternal poetry without words" (Cioran)

So not being able to be neither a poet nor a musician, what did he do? He read everything. 16 hours a day. Afterwards, he turned poetry into prose.
