The masks fall 1

Viviant, veteran literary criticism and excellent speaker Mask and pen on France Inter here the mask falls, but less so than Mireille Dumas PERECO debordo-Sade-way. This gives a very personal kind of self-fiction on the literary criticism of business - finally a real subject of the book if not one of the crucial issues of the day. The pen is tonic, funny, cynical, honest, occasionally vacharde but not that much - except with Viviant Onfray who has a Freudian dispute ... This is a book on comedy moving letters in which the masochistic critical, subject to the sorting of waste literary, crosses Paris by scooter, often with a small blow in the nose, the better to go around. How does one become "critical"? Can a love of youth lead to "it"? What sense does this activity it in 2013? Viviant tells this curious life without overdoing it, and even with some modesty. At the same time, a good critic is a good writer, this book is also a powerful book of desire and imagination where the figure of literary criticism itself as about fiction as a literary character in itself. A real discovery, a beautiful book about "life" but also the "condition" contemporary criticism.
