Alix Cléo Roubaud • La Bourboule, Chambre 14
A grainy black-and-white photograph shows a nude person standing in front of a tall dark wardrobe with a narrow vertical mirror in one door. The person is seen mostly from behind at the right edge of the frame, out of focus and cropped so only their shoulder, back, hip, and upper thigh are visible. In the mirror’s reflection, their full body appears more clearly: they are standing in profile with short, chin-length hair, one arm bent across their chest, and one leg slightly forward, creating a soft, sculptural silhouette. The wardrobe is centered in the image, with two curved handles on the lower middle doors. The mirror reflects a bright window or light source behind the person, making the reflected figure appear backlit and luminous against the darker cabinet. A chair or stool is visible near the person’s legs in the reflection. On the left side of the room, floral-patterned wallpaper runs vertically along the wall. The overall composition feels intimate and candid, with strong contrast between the dark wardrobe, the bright reflection, and the pale blurred figure in the foreground.

We have a mystery artist for you all today – the talented ‘R. Mac-Carthy’, who produced skilled lithographs for two books in the 1920s, but left no trace of their identity. See them at www.honesterotica.com/illustrator/..., and tell us if you can help us solve the enigma of who they were.

‘To be a philologist’, Nietzsche writes in Daybreak, ‘is to be a teacher of slow reading. In the end I also learned to write slowly. It is only from this that I have developed my style.’
Nietzsche's manifesto for reading
Nietzsche did not write for the distracted, the hurried, or the comfortable. He believed that a book should demand effort, provoke resistance, and leave a mark.
