«Per me scrivere è un ultimatum lanciato all'esistenza», afferma Cioran in una delle preziose interviste raccolte nel presente volume, la maggior parte inedite in italiano. Preziose perché, affrontando questioni inusuali o scarsamente trattate altrove, irradiano altra luce su un pensatore nel quale non c'è differenza tra l'opera e la vita.Egli stesso ha ripetuto più volte di non aver mai inventato nulla, ma di essere stato soltanto il "segretario" delle proprie sensazioni e di aver composto i suoi libri per ragioni terapeutiche,per sfuggire ad un'insofferenza radicale di sé, del mondo e della vita. Dopo aver scritto, lungo una vita, per non gettarsi nelle acque della Senna o cacciarsi una pallottola in testa, due anni prima di morire, Cioran ribadisce: «non si è tristi dopo una confessione di tristezza». E, per un felice paradosso, ogni lettore potrà dire: non si è tristi dopo aver letto Cioran.
