Olivier Rolin's 'L'Invention du monde' Chronicles March 21, 1989
Olivier Rolin has published a new novel, 'L'Invention du monde', which ambitiously aims to recount everything that happened in the world on March 21, 1989, synthesizing a global narrative through planetary fiction. The author accumulated newspapers from around the world for that single day, using them as material for an absurd and splendid encyclopedia. In an interview with Bernard Comment, Rolin discusses the project's genesis, his documentary tools, the desire for a panoramic view, his passion for names, onomastic sequences, intersections of languages, fragments of foreign speech, and the fictional figures of muses.
