Photo: R. Minnaert<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>In an unremarkable section of Paris, Roger Caillois saw hiding places for \u201cfloating beings.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Pity the Fifteenth! Paris\u2019s most populous arrondissement is also one of its least celebrated. Stretching from the Front de Seine high-rises in the northwest to the Tour de Montparnasse in the southeast, the Fifteenth is sleepy, residential, and architecturally undistinguished. Home to minor government agencies and the headquarters of various corporations, its streets and thoroughfares are named for military officers, former colonial possessions, inventors, and \u00c9mile Zola, France\u2019s dullest great novelist. Rue des Entrepreneurs intersects Rue de Commerce, where it branches off into Rue de l\u2019\u00c9glise and Rue Mademoiselle, which gives a good indication of what was on the minds of the men who incorporated the small suburban villages of Grenelle, Javel, and Vaugirard into the metropolis in the early years of the Second Empire. To make matters worse, the Fifteenth is tantalizingly <em>adjacent<\/em> to some of Paris\u2019s genuine landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower, located just across the Avenue de Suffren in the Seventh, the Cimeti\u00e8re Montparnasse, on the other side of the neighborhood\u2019s eponymous and much-reviled skyscraper, or the tony apartment buildings on right bank of the Pont de Bir-Hakeim.<\/p>\n<p>Yet this is Paris, and even the most unremarkable stretches of Zone 1 have their devoted mythographers. Born in 1913 in Reims, the jack-of-all-genres Roger Caillois knew something about being fame-adjacent. If you were to look at the faded group photographs of some of the most important avant-garde literary movements of the twentieth century, you would see him, in the background, with his thick eyebrows and chubby cheeks, manuscript in hand, ready to launch into a lecture about his latest intellectual obsession: mimicry, ludology, the sacred, gemstones, secret societies, science fiction, the City of Light. As a student at the prestigious \u00c9cole pratique des hautes \u00e9tudes, Caillois became acquainted with the works of pioneering philosophers and anthropologists like Alexandre Koj\u00e8ve and Marcel Mauss. He was a member of the surrealists until a disagreement with Andr\u00e9 Breton over the nature of a Mexican jumping bean got him kicked out of the movement. He went on to found a discussion group, the Coll\u00e8ge de Sociologie, with fellow excommunicant George Bataille, contributing articles to Bataille\u2019s journal <em>Ac\u00e9phale<\/em> while skipping the meetings of his secret society, one of which notoriously involved a serious discussion about a ritual sacrifice of one of the members. Walter Benjamin loathed him, but nevertheless included several citations from his writings on Paris in <em>The Arcades Project<\/em>. In Buenos Aires, where Caillois, a militant antifascist, spent the war years, he met Victoria Ocampo, the editor of the journal <em>Sur<\/em>. Ocampo was responsible for publishing some of the leading lights of what would become known as the Latin American Boom. Upon his return to France, Caillois took up a position at UNESCO, using his influence there to introduce the French reading public to his new friends Jorge Luis Borges, Octavio Paz, Pablo Neruda, and Silvina Ocampo. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2015\/08\/11\/the-phantoms-of-the-fifteenth-arrondissement\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read More &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re away until January 4, but we\u2019re re-posting some of our favorite pieces from 2015.
