Oh dear

This so-called article is a perfect example of why Wikipedia is justly denigrated. In my opinion it is a complete and utter mess. Leiris is one of my favourite writers in any language. His books are not easily understood, but then neither are those of Yeats or Eliot. Glossaire j'y serre mes gloses isn't even mentioned, nor Vol. IV of La règle du jeu. I would translate the equivalent French article myself, but it is typically devoid of inline references, making the translator's work a thousand times more difficult, and I have a million other more fruitful things to do; although there is a useful list of works about Leiris. <sigh> MinorProphet (talk) 23:59, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
