Obstinément la littérature

Obstinément la littérature

Éric Benoit

About this book

"There is a quality of modern literature that deserves mention: obstinacy. Writing is a work that is endless, unachievable, always resistant to internal obstacles (self-contradictions of literature) and external ones (great historical traumas). This book plunges its reader into the paradoxes of a writing that persists against the impossibility of writing. We see literature confronting stupor, anguish, resentment, nihilism, whether it experiences it until it sinks into itself, or that, on the contrary, it tries to escape it. . For the challenge for literature is indeed an overcoming of negativity, and the advent of a jubilant word. Indeed, the function of literature is not, or not only, to rehash misfortune, but rather to amplify happiness."--
