L'autofictif voit une loutre

Rate this book
« Il se vante d''avoir assisté au dernier meeting de Raymond Barre, je n''y étais pas, mais ce même jour j''ai vu une loutre qui fendait lentement les eaux calmes de la Briance et, du coup, allez comprendre ça, moins vif est mon regret d''avoir raté le dernier meeting de Raymond Barre ce jour-là. » « Trois phrases par jour, minimales, essentielles, fragments d''un faux journal intime condensé en faux haïkus. Un an d''aphorismes et de pensées, derrière lequel la poésie peut folâtrer en douce. » - Erwan Desplanques, Télérama « Le diariste est ici son personnage principal, inventeur quotidien et permanent de son exquis poncif. Il y est injuste, arbitraire, subjectif, égocentrique, surréaliste, cruel et drôle. Délirant mais rigoureusement. » - Pierre Assouline, La République des Livres

Éric Chevillard is a French novelist. He has won awards for several novels including La nébuleuse du crabe in 1993, which won the Fénéon Prize for Literature.

His work often plays with the codes of narration sometimes to the degree that it is even difficult to understand which story is related in his books, and has consequently been classified as postmodern literature. He has been noted for his associations with Les Éditions de Minuit, a publishing-house largely associated with the leading experimental writers composing in French today.
