William Marx's 'La Haine de la littérature' reviewed in artpress

The January 2016 issue of artpress (n°429, p. 77) features a review of William Marx's book 'La Haine de la littérature' published by Minuit. The review, titled 'Une haine qui favorise l’amour', explores Marx's argument that hatred of literature paradoxically fosters love for it. Marx imagines a world where literature reigns supreme, unchallenged, and suggests that many writers would welcome this scenario, seeing themselves as devoted subjects of literature. The book examines the complex relationship between criticism and appreciation of literary works.
