The Lie of The Truth is a brief, dense essay in which French poet and writer René Daumal bids us to resist the very notion of the truth, and to recognise it as an artistic and metaphysical dead-end.
"At the beginning, there was error. Truth is one, but error proliferates. Man tracks it down & cuts it up into little pieces hoping to turn it into grains of truth. But the ultimate atom will always essentially be an error, a miscalculation."
Daumal (1908-1944) is associated with surrealism (though he fought against the label), spiritualism, and ‘pataphysics.’ He is perhaps best remembered for the posthumously published novel, Mount Analogue (1952).
