This article focuses on the role of science in Palafox by Éric Chevillard. Its objective is to study the way in which the writer exploits it on the diegetic and narrative levels to create unparalleled prose, transcending the usual literary canons. The scientific element functions here in a different way than in popular stories and plays a role similar to the Oulipian constraint: it serves as a textual generator supposed to produce a completely original novel which eschews rigid structures and classic narrative mechanisms. Drawing on research relating to the scientific novel, this article ultimately seeks to demonstrate that Palafox, inspired by the life sciences, is an ecological novel which, without tedious didacticism, encourages us to reflect on the way in which people treat living creatures that have accompanied them for centuries – animals.
