Nicholas Idier - "Why Was I Chinese?"
“Why was I Chinese?" To answer this question, the French writer Philippe Sollers uses literature as a personal experience: “what brought me to China was literature, that is to say my personal experience?" (Improvisations, 1991) From the 18th century to the present day, China is nothing less than the Dream of the Red Chamber of French literature, but is this a mere exoticism, a way of looking at a supernatural body from another galaxy, or does it have deeper, more real and fundamental repercussions on the very language of French literature?Details
