Ceci n’est pas un roman
Abstract
Taking exemples in the works of Aragon and Barthes and explaining what these two writers meant by « confusion of genres » and « third form », Philippe Forest presents his own conception of the novel – as illustrated in some of his books, especially Schrödinger’s cat – and deals with the relationship between fact and fiction in contemporary literature.
