Description: Louis-René des Forêts plays for sure one of the most important figures of the twentieth e French literary century. The aura aroused by the writer, even in the margin of the media light where he has always held himself, his companionship with authors as decisive as André du Bouchet, Yves Bonnefoy, Marguerite Duras, Pascal Quignard, Georges Battle or Maurice Blanchot attest. His work, recently assembled in a complete edition, is at the crossroads of the editorial history of his time: a reader at Gallimard, he has access to a vast original production as well as translations, readings that come directly to feed his own work. His know-how is unique: he shapes his books in this attentive listening to those of others. Emmanuel Delaplanche's essay, in its remarkable analysis, gives some of the keys to the composition of the great works that are among others The Mendicants, The Chatter or The Children's Room. Indeed, we discover how themes, atmospheres, names, but especially words, phrases, sometimes phrase members, are rearranged to produce original works. Far from working as a copyist, far from being a plagiarist's hiding place, Forests is developing a very singular art of arrangement, variation, and recovery. In the age of digital reproduction and sampling, Emmanuel Delaplanche's book comes to feed the reflection on the birth of the text and offers a singular light on the writer's laboratory and the originality of the work of art. It is accompanied by a website that has some of the pages of the work of the Forestry watered by several major texts of the XIX th and XX th century (especially American). Website accessible only to book buyers.--Publie.net
