Comment la littérature réinvente la mémoire

"By definition, writing is a type of memory. It preserves traces and defies death. In the wake of WWII, a number of French writers, including Georges Perec, Patrick Modiano, Claude Simon and Nathalie Sarraute, renewed this ancestral art. Their literature reveals to what point human memory is plunder, treachery and shameless theft."
