Summary Annotation "This book is the first full length study to cover the complete texts of Herve Guibert (1955-1991), offering a thorough documentation of Guibert and his literary and other output, and therefore the first critical account of Guibert as one of the major French authors of the century." "Guibert's work is considered in the light of a trope of overlapping key concerns which permeate each of his texts: fiction/truth, self/other, novel/other literary forms, body/text, betrayal/friendship. His writings are related internally to each other, providing a constant dialogue on the problematics of a literary 'enterprise' of the self. The study is guided by Guibert's relation to the novel, a major line of enquiry throughout, as well as his experimentation with voices in particular. One of Dr Boule's main contentions is that Guibert arrives at the creation of a new literary genre, the roman faux, with the publication of his best known work: To the Friend who did not save my life. The book ends with a study of the whole artistic production of Guibert after he is diagnosed as HIV positive within the parameter of the voices of the self."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
