The Future Lasts Forever: A Memoir

The Future Lasts Forever: A Memoir by Althusser, Louis. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781565842786.

The Future Lasts Forever is the famous French philosopher Louis Althussers memoir written during his years of confinement in a mental hospital after murdering his wife. Reminiscent to many readers of Strindbergs Diary of a Madman and Styrons Darkness Visible, The Future Lasts Forever is a profound yet subtle exercise in documenting madness from the inside. This paperback edition also includes Althussers earlier autobiographical essay "The Facts," as well as a preface by Douglas Johnson, Emeritus Professor of French at London University.
