« MOAB for Mother of All the Battles : an epic, the story of an imaginary battle composed of quotes. A phrase by Chrétien de Troyes, Churchill, César or Jünger, a handful of words by Masséna, Jomini, Barbusse, Livy, Malraux, borrowing from the epics of Mahâbhârata or Soundiata ... His 22 songs Strive to say the unlimited time of one and the same battle - the hyper-battle - what the reality is, all the wars. It begins with "At that time, the war covered Ecbatane," Pierre Guyotat. It ends with "Two heavy tears flowed from his hollow eyes: the last two ..." by Roland Dorgelès. Between the two, the current of the war of which, at no moment of its history, the man did not wish to be extracted. MOAB, in its own way, answers one of the most inept questions: Have we entered the war? As if it was conceivable that one day only we went out. " (back cover)--France culture.
