      Short Description

Who has not had the frightening experience of stumbling around in the 
pitch black? As a child, Alain Badiou went through it when he, along 
with friends, made up a game called "On the stroke of midnight." The 
furtive discovery of the dark continent of sex in banned magazines, the 
beauty of black ink on paper, but also the mysteries of the universe and 
the grief of mourning: these are some of the things we encounter as the 
philosopher takes us on a trip through the private theater of his mind, 
at the whim of his memories. Music, painting, politics, sex, and 
metaphysics: all contribute to making black more luminous than it has 
ever been.
