Hubert Lucot's 'Frasques': A Poetic Memory Experiment
Hubert Lucot's 'Frasques' continues his 'Je me souviens' series, following 'Probablement'. The book reworks raw material from the same 'shoot' into a new montage, using rhetorical structures to transform prose into reality. Lucot offers the experience of memory itself—concrete, thought, named, metamorphosed—rather than mere recollection. Reality is vigorously fictionalized, time bends into words, people become characters. The text is dense with concrete narratives, sudden accelerations, and profaned memories. Lucot is described as an 'Antéproust', revisiting and altering memories, laughing and wondering in delayed time. The book presents unknown perceptions for the reader to confront. The review by Jacques-François Marchandise emphasizes Lucot's unique linguistic play and structural innovation.
