Lundi 14 avril 2024, Maison de la Recherche, salle 2.44
Rencontre avec Brian Evenson (CalArts, Fellow at the American Academy in Rome)
Discutante : Maud Bougerol
Résumé : As a writer, professor and translator—of French prose and poetry—Brian Evenson experiments with structure and language to explore the potentialities of liminal spaces, especially the intersection of genre fiction and literary fiction. Through narratives characterized by a detached tone, recurring motifs and metafictional practices, as well as by a rich literary, philosophical and religious intertext, Evenson explores the limits of man’s encounter with the various extremes offered by contemporary society.
