Summary/Abstract: The goal of this paper is to make an incursion into Paul Michel’s (fictional schizophrenic writer) brain, trying to decipher the cause of his insanity and his homosexuality. The story described oscillates between Michel the novelist and his Reader and Muse, Foucault, who swaps places with another Reader, the young scholar.
