"Je-sans-moi": Patients, Pain, and Painlessness in Malraux's Lazare.

The article examines the anonymity and intimacy that characterize French photographer Jack Garofalo's photographs of novelist André Malraux as an elderly patient lying on his hospital bed at the Salpêtrière in 1972. It suggests that the tension in the images finds expression in Malraux's work "Lazare," in which he discusses the destabilization of the self faced with disease and mortality.
