Books by Jean-Louis Hippolyte

Examines the phenomenon of ""fuzziness"", both figurative and structural, in the contemporary French novel. Hippolyte examines a set of avant-garde French writers - Jean-Philippe Toussaint, Marie Redonnet, Eric Chevillard, Francois Bon, and Antoine Volodine - whose aesthetic differences, he argues, exemplify the current uses of vagueness in contemporary French literature.
