“It seems it is no longer the role […] of our literature to destroy the world”

By Philippe Daros
English

One of the trends in literature, today and over the last 30 years, is to reject fiction as an imaginative variation. This tendency can be read as a device of self-censorship symptomatic of a lack of conceptualization and, therefore, of discursive formatting, of any alternative image of the world as a world conceived, as opposed to the world “as it is”.
