Publication type: Book
Author:Astruc (Rémi)
Abstract: By analysis of the effects produced by several novels of Dostoïevski, Kafka, Henry Miller, Céline, Beckett, Günter Grass, Sony Labou Tansi, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Philip Roth, the author of this study suggests that we can see in the grotesque an anthropological mechanism which societies elaborate in order to conceive change and otherness.
