In this brief, dense essay, French avant-garde poet and writer René Daumal (1908–1944) bids us to resist the very notion of the truth and to recognise it as an artistic and metaphysical dead-end. Although he fought against the label, Daumal is often associated with surrealism, but he also investigated spiritualism in his works and was an early and outspoken practitioner of 'pataphysics. A pupil of mystic and spiritual teacher George Gurdjieff, Daumal was self-taught in the Sanskrit language and translated some of the Tripitaka Buddhist canon into French.
