THE ESSAY

The SM does not arrive. It descends. Like a thought you’ve been turning over for years that finally decides to introduce itself.

This volume records a single passage of the machine over the spine of the Pyrenees, in weather it was never designed to endure, in the company of a driver who has known it since 1973. The film is short. The essay is not.
