La Nuit du Rose Hôtel by Fourré is a novel, a text, a poem, ceaselessly taken back and corrected. It is the matrix of the other texts among which is La Marraine de sel. Fourré, as a surrealist, proceeds by associations and develops an intertextuality system, with distance and humor. The associative links are passing from a book to another book, from a location to another one, from a dream to another dream, from an hotel to an other hotel, and from a godmother to an other one. And at the same time, in these tragic farces, the bottle and the death triumph, in Montparnasse and in Richelieu. It is in this mystic, philosophic, literary, autobiographical « à-peu-près » that Fourré’s poetry is situated, between various forms, between two bottles, between two locations, and between two times.
