Imaginaires de guerre. Claude Simon et Pascal Quignard
| Summary: | Simon/Quignard : two life periods during wars (for one, his father’s death in 1914 on the battlefield and his own experience in 1939-40; for the other, the ruins and destructions seen from his window and the family stories) call two very differing fiction worlds. Nevertheless both, when deconstructing the war engines, are producing an analysis in similar terms: war’s cruelty, far from the hero building story tale is the mark of humanity. Its images, in their power of destruction, are one of the springs of their writing practice, although so different when writing the fragmentation. Their imaginary of war suggests the power of literature. |
