In 'From the Line,' Joseph Ponthus presents us with the diary of a worker who toils in fish canneries and Breton slaughterhouses. Through his notes, we witness the harsh reality of the production line: the noise, the repetition, the exhaustion. However, the author finds refuge in literature, from Latin classics to Apollinaire's poetry, finding in culture a form of resistance and a source of non-negotiable happiness. This book is a prose poem, a war notebook, and a song to the working class of the 21st century.
