Un sens en moins, du sens en plus : une lecture de Rapport sur moi de G. Bouillier
Abstract
It is a question of contemplating how Grégoire Bouillier disturbs autobiographical writing through a distorted tale that refuses to resort to psychoanalysis, even as it recounts madness and despair while preserving salutary humour. The intimate is told through fragments, evocation and suggestions without becoming the subject of the kind of psychological analysis one picks up from a novel. The resuit is a story without pathos to describe the worst of an existence. It is up to the reader to reconstruct meaning by ultimately using certain psychoanalytical tools that the author neither provides, nor ignores.
