It’s a mystery.
He has disappeared.
A shadow. A Ghost ?
Have you seen him ?
Do you know where he is ?
Lost in any inbelievable journey ?
Back in his little hot box ?
Partying ?
We want his words. We wants his laughs
Where are you, Jack ?

Sonia Bressler just posted new pictures, taken in Julien Friedler’s hidden place.
You can see the series here, on the Rebelle blog.
French speaking people can read, on the French side, a text by Denise Lachaud made of thoughts and impressions about the Book of Boz. Here is an "excerpt" :
"This book shows a kind of torrid beauty, striped with scars, a pier to hope, a cemetery of burned dreams.
(…)
The writer is tirelessly probing mankind’s open wounds, which can be, as shown by Stoics, as many open doors on hope."
It’s the first one.
The first review about the Spiritofboz website, by the french webmag "Kritiks", written by Sonia Bressler.
Lots more than a review, a true invitation to discovery…
"With Julien Friedler, the creator of"Spirit of Boz", a whole universe, builded on the sharing of ideas, we discover the reality of a dreamed world."
In turn, we invite you, if you can read French, to discover Kritks, a place crowded with writings and readings, full of emotions.
The Book of Boz is neither a novel nor a poem nor a tale. Even less is it a drama or an essay.
It is nothing except the style that inspires it and haunts it, to excess.
No points of reference here.
No beacon.
You sail wherever the wind blows.
Stories are woven, end, are reborn, with the flow, before a storm comes up to carry us further away, to the threshold of a new vision.
For, that is The Book of Boz : a work outside of norms, indefinable, created by a wanderer for other wanderers.

> The liminaire read and commented.
This category is devoted to the body of theory from which rised the Boz universe. It lies on a battery of texts spanning on a decade.
You’ll find :
- Psychanalyse et neurosciences (Julien Friedler, Paris, PUF, 1995)
A book where the notion of myth is questioned.
- L’œil d’Œdipe (Julien Friedler, Paris, PUF, 2004)
This book heralds the necessity to create new myths that fit to our modern societies.
- Le Grand Livre des Commentaires (The Great Commentary Book) (work in progress), proposing a tight comment on the Book of Boz.- An history of La Moire asbl (research center on the psychic apparatus) founded in 1993 by Julien Friedler and Sandrine Rochez.
The Great Commentary Book (GCB) will thus stand in as an term by term exegesis of the Book of Boz (which has been indented in duly numbered fragments).
So, it had to relay, exemplify and solve another exegesis, aimed to other purposes : the Book of Boz conceived like a tree (the linear version of the account), of which the roots will unveil the structure : an hypertext’s, working by associations and reconstructions (see "The Boz and the Net").
Weaving our web, it was interesting then to follow the "path" shown by the "track-word" Pop Art, related to fashion as "practical knowledge".
In the GCB, a text refers to this explicitly. It’s an explanation about segment 32 contained in "My first character". There, you’ll find Boz Company’s deep motivations and the way to embody them.
Now, here is the mentioned text.
