description The unease felt when the same character reappears from one book to another reveals a hidden symbolic functioning of literature. This leads us to examine the degree of existence of the character. It takes the form of a constant crossing between reality and imagination and overflows from the page. Likewise, the space/time of literature is not limited to its linearity but continues towards the times of reading and writing. The questioning of this ambiguous presence is prolonged through indeterminate links of identity between character, writer and reader, which, beyond identification involve notions of creation, procreation and responsibility. All these issues intervene within the writing process itself. In the destruction/appropriation of language toward a personal phrasing, writing is separated from the I, while remaining closely intertwined. Thus arises this other presence of creation which I name creature.
