“Des romans de la survivance” [“Novels of Survivorship”] (review of Aude Leblond, Sur un monde en ruine. Esthétique du roman-fleuve [On a World in Ruins. Aesthetics of the roman-fleuve], Paris, Champion, 2015), Acta fabula, vol. 17, No. 1, January 2016, https://doi.org/10.58282/acta.9637
Telling the story of a surviving world, the inter-war novel is situated between an intolerable past and a
... [Show full abstract] future that it sometimes seems preferable to ignore. It is incapable of putting an end to the past, and seems (despite a form of episodic courage) to shrink back when it comes to envisaging what is to come: it is therefore suited neither to men of history, nor to men of action (who can also be men of letters).
