The French Revolution

Godfrey
Godfrey is on page 230 of 308 of A Handful of Dust
The society savage gives way to the uncivilised savage, redeemed for being less bizarre and falsely mannered.

A Favourite of the Gods

Godfrey
Godfrey is on page 137 of 272 of Casanova in Love
Decline undermined and outmanouvered by self-inflicted purgatory to purge Casanova of those experiences which he is no longer able to consummately fulfill.

Casanova in Love

Godfrey
Godfrey is on page 107 of 272 of Casanova in Love
Transformation from seducer to lecherer through the psychologically testing game presented by as and by Marie Charpillon, first as a woman to love for the understimulated Casanova, for who sex remains the ultimate triumph but one which is not victorious or final, second as a proud, resistant daughter tired of the sexual favours she is forced to pay by her perenially bankrupt and itinerant family.

Casanova in Love

Godfrey
Godfrey is on page 151 of 288 of The Benefactor
I dreamt longer than I lived
Replacing wakers with slept memories
Until dream copied dream
And night was sleep's elegy

The Benefactor

Godfrey
Godfrey is on page 78 of 288 of The Benefactor
A libertine in limbo, leading a deep revolution in the recesses of his mind, sexually ambivalent but for the libido of his dreams. The inversion of cause and effect between life and dreams, one as the reflection of the other; the dream becomes paramount, the equation the same. Waking becomes first the reprisal, then the rehearsal of the dreams.

The Benefactor

Godfrey
Godfrey is on page 53 of 88 of Traumnovelle
The erotic, the disappeared and reappeared, the pubescent, the masked, the haunted, the night, the dead, the dying, the grieving, the ranked, the superior, the tortured, the sacrificed, the sacred and the profane.

Traumnovelle

Godfrey
Godfrey is on page 36 of 108 of Casanova's Homecoming
Being who he is not (old age, identity tricks to have Marcolina), who he was never (literate lumière), and reputation over man (not handsome but infamous, winning the middle-aged), force Casanova into self-estrangement. Marcolina, his Madame de Stäel, is a symbolic redemption; a replica of Voltaire's mistress... everything appears arranged around becoming/dismissing/imitating Voltaire. The literate is the sexual.
