Christine Angot: Intransigent Writing and the Risk of Scandal
Christine Angot has always rejected the 'autofiction' label that the media has attached to her. According to Georges Bataille's phrase, as repeated by Jacques Henric, her books are ones to which the author was compelled. Whether provoking scandal with 'Inceste' or surprising her audience with 'romans d'amour,' Angot shows the same intransigence and assumes the risks. This makes her one of the very few authors of her generation to have imposed a truly singular writing style. The interview, conducted by Laurent Goumarre and Jacques Henric, is prefaced by Goumarre and titled 'L’art, c’est l’intime livré au danger.' It is published by artpress.
