| Summary: | Autobiography and fiction meet each other in the texts of Jean Marie Gustave Le Clézio. Talking about creation in novels such as Le chercheur d’or, La Quarantaine, Onitsha or Voyage à Rodrigues symbolizes the need to emphasize the cultural inheritance received during childhood. The original relationship between the memories from a “happy time” and the family history of the characters certifies the alteration of the generic frontiers. The notion of “mémoire familiale” expressed by Ricœur introduces the pronoun “us” involving ancestors and inheritants, individuals that carry a great treasure: a collective mythology that marks the rediscover of the origins. That is why, in order to recreate the magic of childhood, the author talks about the past while using memories and documents to demonstrate that the texts find themselves at the frontier between fiction and autobiography. |
