Gassiot-Talabot's 'La figuration narrative' collected writings published posthumously

A posthumous collection of writings by critic Gérald Gassiot-Talabot, titled 'La figuration narrative', has been published by Éditions Jacqueline Chambon. Gassiot-Talabot, who died a year ago, was a key theorist of the Narrative Figuration movement alongside artists Bernard Rancillac and Hervé Télémaque. The volume includes three essential texts from 1965 to 1967 that trace the development of the narrative principle, focusing on temporality and precise categories. Anne Tronche's introduction notes Gassiot-Talabot's militant critical stance, his clarity of writing, and his intellectual sedition that linked creation to current events and history. The collection, while limited in scope, showcases his analytical precision and commitment to convincing and enlightening readers.
