Is Mathias Énard&#8217;s latest book formally influenced by the Buddhist Wheel of Time, by Jewish undertaker guilds, by François Rabelais&#8217;s scatological and philosophical prose & linguistic wordplay, by Catholic altarpiece polyptych panel paintings, and by the scandalous diaries of a Polish anthropologist?  The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers&#8217; Guild is dedicated to les pensées sauvages, to the wild thinkers, and  today&#8217;s conversation is an exploration of Énard&#8217;s latest wild book, and of wild thinking itself.

In the spirit of Énard&#8217;s latest book and our conversation about it, today&#8217;s <a href="https://bookshop.org/lists/books-from-mathias-enard-conversation">BookShop</a> is just as wide-ranging—with classics of anthropology, Buddhism, modern Arabic and French literature and of course, Énard&#8217;s own books as well.
