Les Autres

Rate this book
"Je n'avais plus d'idées. J'ai demandé aux autres de me parler. Ils ont des vies, qu'on doit pouvoir raconter. Je me disais. Les autres. Dans ce roman publié pour la première fois en 1997, Christine Angot donne la parole aux autres à travers des voix, des fragments de désirs et de détresses, qu'elle écoute et retranscrit . Dans un rythme extrêmement heurté qui épouse le battement même des pulsions, tout est brut, coupant, net. Et bouleversant.

About the author

Christine Angot

32 books96 followers
French novelist and playwright, she is perhaps best known for her 1999 novel L'Inceste (Incest) which recounts an incestuous relationship with her father. It is a subject which appears in several of her previous books, but it is unclear whether these works are autofiction and the events described true. Angot herself describes her work - a metafiction on society's fundamental prohibition of incest and her own writings on the subject - as a performative (cf Quitter la ville).

Angot is also literary director for French publishers Stock
