Le Sans-visage (Faceless): A Journal on the Works of Pascal Quignard

An international journal is born, springing from the conviction that all has not been written on the works of Pascal Quignard, that encompass literary, theatrical, operatic, graphic, and cinematographic works and continue to expand and take new directions.
