Philippe Forest's 'Le roman, le réel' Explores Fiction and Reality
Philippe Forest's collection 'Le roman, le réel' compiles articles and conference texts written between 1998 and 2006. The book argues that the novel's possibility depends on its capacity to respond to the unprecedented call of the real. In the foreword, Forest emphasizes the systematic coherence of the work, which questions the nature of the novel and its link to reality. Published by artpress in 2007, the volume is available as a PDF download.
