Joseph Mouton's 'Hannibal tragique, Hannibal domestique' Explores Narrative and Ethics
Joseph Mouton's latest book, 'Hannibal tragique, Hannibal domestique,' published by Les Petits Matins, continues his exploration of narrative forms and their ethical implications. Following his earlier work 'Delenda Ouest' (2007), Mouton examines how storytelling shapes our lives, contrasting Hollywood-style narratives with everyday contingencies. The book operates on multiple levels: a writer's journal, the story of screenwriters at Mouton Goldwyn Mayer tasked with a film project, and the delayed screenplay itself. Patrice Maniglier describes it as a dismantled and reassembled mimesis, an existential and poetic masterpiece.
