| Summary: | Nos vies romancées is an autobiographical essay where Arnaud Cathrine blends the personal memories to the life and to the books of his favourite authors (Carson McCullers, Françoise Sagan, Roland Barthes, Fritz Zorn, Sarah Kane and Jean Rhys) to talk about literature, private writing and identity. In this text we’ll analyze first the autobiographical side of Arnaud Cathrine’s book to reveal stylistic and thematic strategies used to create a personal writing, such as the presence of I, the use of simple present, the function of adjectives, adverbs and direct speech. Then we’ll show us the modalities to come up to others through the identification and the projection. The meeting with the others is often a defeat but man continues to look for a person to belong to because “on ne peut pas exister sans double de soi-même”. Therefore, does it exist a place where the subject finds, thanks to the others, a single and multiple identity ? Arnaud Cathrine suggests us that literature allows the passage from I to we : everybody has a life but we can share her and we can live others’ life thanks to the reading. |
