Ou mieux, ce besoin d'une si miraculeuse intensité ne commence ni ne finit : cycle ininterrompu s'enroulant sur lui-même, à l'instar du symbolique serpent, ce consommateur singulier qui se mord éternellement la queue."

Description
Stanley Grauman Weinbaum was an American science fiction writer. His first story, "A Martian Odyssey", was published to great acclaim in July 1934; the alien Tweel was arguably the first character to satisfy John W. Campbell's challenge: "Write me a creature who thinks as well as a man, or better than a man, but not like a man." Weinbaum wrote more short stories and a few novels, but died from lung cancer less than a year and a half later.
