Nur elf Monate dauerte die vielleicht bedeutsamste Liebesgeschichte der jüngeren Zeit. Dora Diamant, die lange Zeit Unbekannte an Kafkas Seite, verfügte über eine seltene Weite des Geistes. Als Rebellin ihrer ostjüdisch-orthodoxen Umgebung – sie floh vor dem strengen Vater in die Verheissung des ›aufgeklärten‹ Westens – behielt sie und kultivierte immer den tiefen humanitären Geschmack einer religiösen Musikalität: Das Gefühl einer unverbrüchlichen Verantwortung und das Bestreben zur Identität von Heiligem und Alltäglichem.

Un peintre, un homme, un génie. Picasso fut un homme pour qui peindre voulait dire voir, et qui mieux que personne "vit" son siècle. Visionnaire, oui. Engagé corps et biens dans son absolu. Homme public dont l'existence tumultueuse fascina toujours les foules, il était aussi un personnage farouche, secret, imprévisible. Des premiers pigeons crayonnés de Málaga aux périodes bleue et rose, des folles années montmartroises aux Demoiselles d'Avignon, de l'explosion surréaliste à Guernica.

Philippe Torreton a passé trois nuits avec le Samusocial. Trois nuits de maraude dans Paris, aux côtés des bénévoles, des infirmiers, des travailleurs sociaux et des gens qui vivent dans la rue. De ces heures transcrites, il tire un long poème en prose qui n'a rien d'emprunté ou d'artificiel. Il raconte au contraire avec une vivacité saisissante la misère, la spirale infernale, la folie parfois, ou l'exil, mais aussi l'engagement, l'espoir, l'amitié et l'impuissance de ceux qui se battent, la colère de ne pouvoir faire plus.
