Le dédoublement réaliste-minimaliste des récits contemporains français : Le cas de Je m’en vais de Jean Echenoz et de Fuir de Jean-Philippe Toussaint
Journal Title: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature - Year 2016, Vol 40, Issue 40
Abstract
In the mid-1980s, a number of contemporary French writers attempted to renew the genre of the French novel through a multilayered stylistic revival. The critics had condemned the novel to death as it was besieged with theories and did not offer anything new. The new generation emphasized on writing and ignored all other theory-based approaches. The critics began identifying the new phenomena and ultimately came up with the “minimalist” label for writers of this clan. The novels of Jean Echenoz and Jean-Philippe Toussaint are remarkable examples of this literary movement as they illustrate all aspects of minimalist art in I’m Off (Je m’en vais) and Running away (Fuir). This paper deals with the resemblances and the differences between minimalism and realism. It will also highlight the traces of realism in contemporary writings in order to show how well its components are maintained or rejected in the new literary texts.
