The Wit of the Staircase

This novel is the final publication of the Chilean filmmaker and author Raul Ruiz (1941–2011), who died last year, and who put the finishing touches to this book a few days before his death. Here, Ruiz narrates his life not as himself, but as a ghost. The Wit of the Staircase follows his novel In Pursuit of Treasure Island and the two Poetics of Cinema volumes, also published with Dis Voir.
