The work of Claude Simon, Nobel Prize for Literature, finally made accessible! With the testimony of specialists, writers, actors, historians and the film directed by Alain Fleischer from the Claude Simon exhibition at the Centre Pompidou.

The first book on the Inculte collective, the most important group of writers of the last thirty years in France.

The French contemporary narrative reveals a disturbing fascination for the irrational. Rather deserting the too bright shores of reason, it summons magical and often anachronistic figures (spectres, shamans, witches) to probe the meanders of a collective psyche whose fears and phantasms resist the paths of rationalism.
