Abstract

Abstract:Critics welcomed a return to richly plotted imaginative fiction in Jean Echenoz’s most recent novels (Envoyée spéciale, 2016; Vie de Gérard Fulmard, 2020). Yet these novels are also striking for how they intensify a previously perceptible posture of narratorial fatigue, even to the point of death, as well as for their staging of self-conscious stylistic poverty. More than the seductions of plot, they foreground the seductive “grain” of the storytelling voice, its offering of jouissance through breaches of the fictional world (intertextual allusion, versificatory units etc), now in the mode of decline and failure.
