Lawrence, Aldous Huxley, Rainer Maria Rilke, Edith Wharton, Stephan Zweig, Yukio Mishima, Vladimir Nabokov, Roald Dahl, Haruki Murakami, Umberto Eco, Virginia Woolf, Kazuo Ishiguro, Milan Kundera,   &quot; /&gt;Blanche Cerquiglini est responsable des collections &quot;Folio classique&quot; et &quot;Folio théâtre&quot; chez Gallimard après avoir été secrétaire de rédaction de la revue Critique aux Editions de Minuit et travaillé pour la Bibliothèque de la Pléiade. A ce titre, elle est spécialiste de littérature classique. En parallèle, elle est aussi critique littéraire depuis 2009, publiant principalement des articles sur le roman français contemporain. Ses essais questionnent la société à partir de la littérature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Proust-Monde - Quand les écrivains étrangers lisent Proust&lt;/em&gt; vient de paraître en poche. Il s’agit d’un recueil de 83 textes, dont 20 dans une première traduction, rédigés par des écrivains étrangers. J’ai bien dit écrivains et non critiques ou universitaires. J’ai conscience que cet ouvrage ne va pas intéresser tout le monde mais pour tous ceux qui placent Marcel Proust très haut dans leur panthéon littéraire, sachez que parmi la masse de livres parus cette année sur l’écrivain, à l’occasion du centenaire de sa mort, ce bouquin mérite largement d’être lu.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pour vous donner une idée de son contenu, le mieux est de vous en donner les titres des principaux chapitres&amp;nbsp;: &lt;em&gt;Traduire Proust&lt;/em&gt; («&amp;nbsp;La complexité de la phrase proustienne, si souvent soulignée par les lecteurs, est redoublée dans la traduction&amp;nbsp;») &lt;em&gt;Ses premiers lecteurs&lt;/em&gt; (Rainer Maria Rilke, Edith Wharton, Stephan Zweig…), &lt;em&gt;Grandeur et longueur de Proust&lt;/em&gt; (Yukio Mishima, Vladimir Nabokov…) &lt;em&gt;Anti-Proust&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Pastiches et réécritures&lt;/em&gt;, Proustophilie (Roald Dahl, Haruki Murakami, Umberto Eco…), &lt;em&gt;Ecrire après Proust&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/em&gt; (Virginia Woolf, Kazuo Ishiguro, Milan Kundera…)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A la lecture de ces titres, vous constatez déjà qu’un minimum d’objectivité assure un bon niveau au bouquin puisque même ceux qui n’aiment pas l’auteur, sont cités (Jorge Luis Borges, D.H. Lawrence, Aldous Huxley…) et ça ne manque pas de sel. Et si on y ajoute le casting du générique que je viens d’esquisser, vous comprenez que c’est tout le gratin mondial de la littérature qui est passé par Proust, qui l’a disséqué, analysé, commenté.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Un bouquin qu’on peut lire en piochant selon son humeur ou comme moi, en allant d’abord directement voir ce qu’en disent vos écrivains préférés. Un excellent document.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;« Proust ! C’est quoi Proust ? Telle est la jérémiade des non-initiés autour de nous. A ces personnes, qui ne veulent pas être instruites, on répond que Proust est une mode – une maladie – et qu’un proustien, soi-disant, est un mangeur d’opium. Mais, pour ceux qui le connaissent et qui l’aiment, il est un Prospero sage et rusé dont la baguette est le style, et Combray une île enchantée – c’est-à-dire Ferdinand, pas tellement Miranda, mais plutôt Caliban, les marins ivres et tous les autres. » [Violet Hunt]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;media-6408951&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0.2em 1.4em 0.7em 0;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://lebouquineur.hautetfort.com/media/02/02/1025185463.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Marcel Proust, Jorge Luis Borges, D.H.

His modern language went so far from the traditional Slavic mentality that some critics even don’t want to consider him a great Russian thinker. Nabokov’s biography gives certain reasons for it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;He was born into a noble family with aristocratic European roots. His grandfather was Minister of Justice under Alexander II who married a young baroness Marie von Korff. His father, Vladimir Dmitrievich Nabokov, was a well-known liberal statesman, a member of the first Russian Parliament and one of the leaders of anti-Bolshevik opposition. Being an undisguised “westerner” and Anglofile (his favourite author was Alexander Herzen) Vladimir Dmitrievich invited an English nurse for his son.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;Thus Vladimir Nabokov became a bilingual from the baby age. At the age of five he began learning French. And when the family moved from St. Petersburgh to Berlin, in 1919, because of the Red Terror and the Civil War. Vladimir applied for Trinity college at Cambridge University and chose foreign languages as his specialty. The two foreign languages were French (medieval and modern) and Russian.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;Another passion of his life from the very childhood was Lepidopterology. Nabokov collected, hunted and described butterflies. His first serious study on the Crimean butterflies, written in English, was published in “The Etimologist” magazine on 1920.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;Later on Nabokov liked to give himself out for lepidopterologist whose hobby was literature, but it was just one of his typical tricks and mystifications. He spent most of his enthusiasm on fiction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;media-6160169&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0.2em 1.4em 0.7em 0;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://euro-synergies.hautetfort.com/media/01/01/1214322896.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;mary.jpg&quot; /&gt;His first Russian literary publications, signed with pseudonym Syrin (the name of the mythological paradise bird), were printed by emigrant press (“Mashenka”, “The Defence”). Some short stories and lyrical poems where he depicted the drama and tragedy of the Russian refugees, the downfall of their first hopes and their despair (an emigrant chess-player Luzhin in “The Defence” committed a suicide by jumping out of the window) were accepted with understanding by readers. One of them was Ivan Bunin, the Noble Prize winner for literature and one of Nabokov’s authorities of that time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;However, the young writer was far from following standards of the old realistic school. He was too complicated and ambitious for such a primitive task. Being a contemporary of the proletariat revolution and the bloody communist dictatorship, he hated any kind of primitivism and philistinism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;The next novels – “The Despair”, “The Lantern in the Dark” and “The Invitation to Beheading”, written in an anti-realistic, hard-modernist language,&amp;nbsp; sometimes close to Kafkian absurdity, expressed not only his own existential cry but also a programmatic challenge to the cruelty of the communist dictatorship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;Dostoevsky noticed once that all Russian Literature went out of Gogol’s “Overcoat”. I should say that Nabokov came out of Gogol’s “Nose”. And when he stood up, everybody could see “The Diaries of a Madman” in his hands, opened on the last page.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;During that time the best of Nabokov’s novels was born. It was “The Gift”. It is very specific. There is no ordinary plot in the book. Formally, it is a life and carrier story of a Russian writer Godunov-Cherdyntsev and his love Zina Mortz. But the real heroine of the novel is not Zina. It is the Russian Literature. Modernist Language and the structure of “The Gift” which let Nabokov show the lustre and the darkness of our cultural heritage: from Pushkin to “the five poets” with names, beginning with “B”: Balmont, Bunin, Beliy, Blok and Bulgakov – the five senses of the new Russian poetry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;media-6160172&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0.2em 1.4em 0.7em 0;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://euro-synergies.hautetfort.com/media/02/01/879915851.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;indexgift.jpg&quot; /&gt;“The Gift” ’s author doesn’t say many words about his favorite writers in a direct way. You just see their reflections or allusions to their aesthetics, feel their invisible breathing. At the same time he dedicates the whole chapter 4 to the biography of Nikolai Chernyshevskiy, a famous revolutionary-populist (narodnik) and a spiritual father in the person of Lenin that becomes the negative center of the novel. Nabokov follows the example of Dostoevskiy’s “Demons” and gives a caricature portrait of the revolutionary, but he makes it in a different manner. Not to be boring, Nabokov retells the Cherdyntsev’s utilitarian and socially limited ideas in the black ironic verse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“…No great intelligence is needed to distinguish a connection between the teaching materialism, regarding inborn tendency to good; equality of man’s capacities – capacities that generally are termed mental; the great influence exterior&amp;nbsp; circumstances have on a man; omnipotent of experience; sway of habit and upbringing; the extreme importance of industry; the moral right to pleasure and communism”.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;In opposition to this blind social reductionism, &amp;nbsp;Nabokov puts a pure aesthetic contemplation of the life mystery which we find in Godunov-Cherdyntsev’s poems:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;One night between sunset and river&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;On the old bridge we stood, you and I,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Will you ever forget it”, I queried,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“That particular swift that went by?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;And you answered so earnestly: “Never!”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;And what sobs made us suddenly shiver&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;What story life emitted in flight&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Till we die, till tomorrow, for ever,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;You and I on the old bridge one night.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;To any kind of negativism and foolish optimism, especially political demagogy with its promising “social progress”, “happy future”, he sets off his clear anti-equalizing&amp;nbsp; pessimistic credo: &lt;em&gt;“An oak is a tree, a rose is a flower, a deer is an animal, a sparrow is a bird. Russia is our Fatherland, death is inevitable”.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;“The Gift” was received with cold indifference by the immigrant community. The Orthodox people couldn’t&amp;nbsp; accept Nabokov’s antichristian philosophy, the left wing – his anti-socialist and anti-populist views, the bourgeois (in the Flaubertian sense) couldn’t&amp;nbsp; accept his unusual Avant-Guard language. And, of course, it was impossible even to dream about some Russian readers in his Fatherland. All Nabokov’s works were absolutely banned by the Soviet regime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;This kind of reaction was not unexpected by the author. He was proud of his forced solitude:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thank you, my land for your remotest,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Most cruel mist my thanks are due.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;By you possessed, by you unnoticed&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unto myself I speak of you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;“The Gift” was the best Vladimir Nabokov’s novel, written by him in the native language. It was the top of the whole Russian period of his creative work. When the conclusive chapter of the book was completed in 1937 in France, he and his family – his wife Vera and his son Dmitry – moved from Europe to USA. There Nabokov had to find a job to earn his living. In Germany he taught many language classes. He taught Russian literature at Weleshy College and then from 1948 till 1959 he lectured on Russian and European Literature at Cornell University. And all that time he never stopped writing fiction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;media-6160174&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0.2em 1.4em 0.7em 0;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://euro-synergies.hautetfort.com/media/01/01/1836481539.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;unnamedVNcev.jpg&quot; /&gt;He finished the book of memories – its first title “Conclusive Evidence” (1951) – later changed into “Speak, Memory” by the author -, where he described in a pure classic manner his happy childhood in a family village Rozhdestveno near St. Petersburgh, portrayed with infinite tender his parents and represented the general life atmosphere of a good old pre-revolutionary Russia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;Very few people in America could appreciate that elegant nostalgic book. The next novels “The Real Life of Sebastian Knight» and «Bend Sinister” were easier and more understandable for a western reader but they were not noticed either. And Nabokov decided to create something totally different.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Lolita, light of my life, fin of my loins.

Lo-lee-ta!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;She was Lo, plain Lo in the morning, standing from feet ten in one sock.

Firstly, Nabokov could not find an editor in USA. When the novel was published by the “Olympic Press” in Paris, American critics fired a common volley at “Lolita”. One of them said that the author of the novel was “hypercivilized European debanching young American”, another classified the story as “pornographical”, the third called the book “anti-American” and the forth called it “anti-semitic”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;Humbert was at least three times mistaken for a Jew, and the pistol of his rival Guilty was a German one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;media-6160177&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0.2em 1.4em 0.7em 0;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://euro-synergies.hautetfort.com/media/02/01/215313245.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;1957-Stockholm..jpg&quot; /&gt;Nabokov tried to defend himself. He said that “Lolita” couldn’t be considered as anti-American. While composing the story, he tried to be an American writer. What one should bear in mind he was not a realistic author, he wrote fiction. It had taken Nabokov some forty years to invent Russia and Western Europe. And at that moment&amp;nbsp; he faced the task of inventing America. He didn’t like Humbert Humbert. Indeed that character was not an American citizen, he was a foreigner and an anarchist. Nabokov disagreed with him in many ways, besides, nymphets like his, disagreed, for example, with Freid or Marx.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;He was not understood and pled guilty. After an enormous scandal round “Lolita” Nabokov lost his job at Cornell University. After that final knock-out which in fact became the beginning of Nabokov’s world glory, the writer could devote all his time to the literary work. He published a poem “Pale Fire” of nine hundred ninety-nine lines, divided into four cantos with a long fantastic commentary, a novel “Pnin” about an emigrant university lecturer like him. Among other fiction, there was a novel “Ada or Azdor: a Family Chronicle”, some books and short stories, plays and a screen-play for his “Lolita”, ordered by Stanly Kubrik.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;And let’s remember that Vladimir Nabokov was a brilliant translator and an expert in the world literature. The most important creation in this field was Pushkin’s “Eugen Onegyn”, published by Bollinger Foundation in four volumes with huge commentary in every one. He also made the English translation of “The Song of Igor’s Campaign”, a famous Medieval tale, Lermontov’s “Hero of our time” and some poems of the Russian classics. From English into Russian he retold “Alice’s Adventures in the Wonderland” by Luis Carrol (“Alisa v strane chudes”) and his memories (“Drugie Berega”).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;media-6160179&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0.2em 1.4em 0.7em 0;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://euro-synergies.hautetfort.com/media/02/02/2669046966.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;51doGKP4FoL._SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_ML2_.jpg&quot; /&gt;Nabokov’s critical biography by Nikolai Gogol (a non-Christian interpretation of a Christian author were the first books, published in the Soviet Union. But his “Lectures on Russian Literature”, “Lecture on Literature” (on Western Europe), “Strong Opinions” where he collected some interviews, letters and articles were unknown until post-soviet times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;&quot;&gt;“Why?” – you can ask. May be, because of his not very Russian American novels? I don’t think so. Many American writers have been translated and published in the USSR. By the way, Nabokov himself was quite clear about

L'arrivée d'Hitler au pouvoir provoque sa deuxième émigration, cette fois aux États-Unis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff9900; font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Son œuvre est empreinte du sens de l'absurde et de la dérision&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;(la Vraie Vie de Sébastien Knight,&lt;/em&gt; 1941)... Il vit dans la pauvreté jusqu'en 1955,&amp;nbsp;année&amp;nbsp;où&amp;nbsp;la publication de &lt;em&gt;Lolita,&lt;/em&gt; histoire&amp;nbsp;de la passion d'un homme d'âge mûr pour une adolescente, connaît un grand succès.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff9900; font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Il peint les vices, la perversité, les obsessions, la folie et les travers ridicules d'une certaine société (&lt;em&gt;Ada ou l'Ardeur&lt;/em&gt;, 1969). Vladimir Nabokov, obsédé par le passé, le temps qui s'enfuit, tente de le retenir par l'écriture (&lt;em&gt;Feu pâle&lt;/em&gt;, 1962).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff9900; font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;À soixante ans, il part pour l'Europe où il vit paisiblement &lt;em&gt;&quot;comme si rien ou presque ne s'était passé&lt;/em&gt;&quot;.

<content type="html" xml:base="http://lantidote.hautetfort.com/">
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Résumé&amp;nbsp;: quand on n’est pas dans la science dure, une vérité qui change n’est plus une vérité. Dans la science, quand la vérité change, c’est qu’elle s’améliore, qu’elle s’approche de l’exactitude par rapport à son objet, même si elle se complique, parce qu’une vérité plus forte remplace une vérité devenue faible. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Partout ailleurs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;, pour qu’il y ait une vérité, il faut de la durée. L’idéal étant évidemment l’éternité. Mais voilà, la durée de la vérité s’est raccourcie, le changement impose le nouveau comme autre forme du vrai. Du coup,&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;la vérité est devenue POREUSE, disparaît dans sa propre précarité, et se laisse contaminer par ce qui n’est pas elle. L’époque actuelle, dans les mœurs, dans les arts, dans les symboles, dans les esprits, s’est mise à évoluer à mort. Pour tout vous dire, l’époque actuelle «&amp;nbsp;change de vrai&amp;nbsp;» comme de chemise. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;C'est ce qui faisait le confort intérieur des esprits, à l'époque de l'absolu de la religion et de la royauté. Mais, tel Zorro, « &lt;em&gt;EINSTEIN est arrivé sans se presser&lt;/em&gt; », et il a mis sur le trône la relativité généralisée. Si quelque chose de vraiment vrai, c'est-à-dire d'éternel, avait pu exister auparavant, c'en était définitivement fini. Car si le vrai n'est pas éternel, c'est qu'il n'est pas vrai, qu'il en porte le masque, pas plus. Qu'il y a d'autres vrais, une pluralité de vrais,&amp;nbsp;de la concurrence entre les vrais. Allez savoir à quel vrai vous avez affaire. On ne sait plus à quel vrai se vouer, mon pauvre monsieur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Au point que le changement n’a plus du tout besoin de vrai pour être une valeur en soi. Si ça change, c’est qu’il y a&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;une bonne raison pour cela, de même qu’ «&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;il n’y a pas de fumée sans feu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;». Si ça change, c’est que ce qui est remplacé devait donc être remplacé (et jeté à la poubelle, ou vendu pour presque rien dans un vide-grenier). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Et l’on s’étonne que les gens soient paumés, et qu’ils aient perdu tout point de repère. C’est le refrain «&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;de mon temps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;», que j’ai entendu très récemment au grand vide-grenier de la Croix Rousse, dans la bouche d’un monsieur assez âgé, un tantinet exalté, fils de tisseur et ancien propriétaire d’une auto-école, qui vendait des épingles de cravates anciennes. Je me suis éloigné ostensiblement, sans ça, j’y serais encore. «&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;De mon temps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;, disait-il en substance, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;il y avait des points de repère&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;et ce qui était noir n’était pas blanc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;». &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Le brave homme n’avait pas complètement tort, en dénonçant les tenues des passants et des exposants, et en les qualifiant de «&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;débraillées&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;». C’est vrai que les gens n’ont guère aujourd’hui le souci de la qualité de leur «&amp;nbsp;toilette&amp;nbsp;» (mot désuet), et ce n’est pas un problème d’argent. C’était, à sa manière, un éloge de la &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;paroi étanche&lt;/span&gt; qui séparait il n’y a pas si longtemps (qu’est-ce que c’est, cinquante ans&amp;nbsp;?) le dimanche des autres jours de la semaine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;On se demande quel hurluberlu, aujourd’hui, aurait l’idée bizarre de s’ «&amp;nbsp;habiller en dimanche&amp;nbsp;». Si, c’est vrai que, plusieurs dimanches de suite, dans le métro, j’ai vu un noir, très grand et très mince, qui tenait religieusement une bible à la main. Disons que, rien qu’à sa façon de la tenir, on voyait qu’il était dans un moment d’intense piété. &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Eh bien, il était tiré à quatre épingles, costume impeccable, chemise très blanche, cravate, chaussures méticuleusement cirées. Il rejoignait sans doute son assemblée de fidèles, son pasteur, son temple. Mais c’est une exception. La plupart des gens négligent leur apparence vestimentaire, y compris le dimanche.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Voilà un tout petit exemple de la POROSITÉ qui a gagné nos vies dans la multiplicité de ses aspects. Les parois qui séparaient le dimanche des six autres jours, l’un et l’autre, le même et le différent, qui délimitaient le sens des mots, ont perdu en consistance, en épaisseur, en densité. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Vous voulez un autre exemple&amp;nbsp;? Tiens, prenons les âges de la vie, de l’enfance à l’âge mûr. Ne parlons pas du désir de jeunesse et de l’envie de plaire d’une femme, disons «&amp;nbsp;après le retour&amp;nbsp;», vous savez, quand les glandes commencent à se tarir et sécher, une femme qui, pour cela, va couvrir son corps et son visage du masque épouvantable d’un âge qui l’a désertée. N’en parlons pas, parce que c’est trop triste. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Parlons de ces nombreuses mères de famille qui meurent d’envie de donner à leur propre fille, dès l’âge de 8 ou 10 ans, toute l’apparence d’une femme fatale, d’une séductrice, d’une – comme on dit – «&amp;nbsp;Lolita&amp;nbsp;» (quel archétype a inventé là VLADIMIR NABOKOV&amp;nbsp;! Quelle prescience&amp;nbsp;! C'est si&amp;nbsp;rare, un nom propre qui devient un nom commun.&amp;nbsp;Chapeau l’artiste&amp;nbsp;!), parfois aidées en cela par des poussées hormonales précoces très à même d’entretenir la confusion. J’appelle ça la POROSITÉ des âges. Il y aurait d’autres exemples (adolescence prolongée genre &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Tanguy&lt;/span&gt;, infantilisme des adultes et des parents, etc.). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Je ne sais plus dans quelle émission d’une nommée MIREILLE DUMAS regardée par hasard, j’avais assisté à la mise en scène de la petite, fardée et accoutrée en pute (il n’y a pas d’autre mot), et j’y avais trouvé quelque chose de tragique. L’idée, c’est que dans la fillette, même prépubère (mot qui veut dire «&amp;nbsp;avant les poils&amp;nbsp;», pour ceux qui n’ont pas fait de latin), il y a déjà la jeune fille, la belle adolescente, presque la jeune femme. Pour un peu, on la verrait bien en mère. Et je dis : pourquoi pas en mère-grand (&quot;comme vous avez de grands yeux, mademoiselle !&quot;)&amp;nbsp;Disons que c’est une invitation à l’inceste et au viol, et n’en parlons plus. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Voilà ce que je dis, moi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Allez, on va encore jouer les prolongations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Ce texte qui figure parmi les 636 écrits rassemblés par Yves-Ferdinand Bouvier et Serge Vincendet (respectivement linguiste et expert en phonogrammes de collection) témoigne de l’intérêt que porte Gainsbourg à la littérature. «&amp;nbsp;Lolita&amp;nbsp;», le titre &amp;nbsp;qui ouvre ce recueil date de 1950 et renvoie évidemment à Nabokov. L’appareil critique qui accompagne ce volume montre l’influence exercée sur l’esthétique de Julien Gris, devenu Serge Gainsbourg en 1956, par des auteurs tels que Louis-Ferdinand Céline (surnommé Sénile), Octave Mirbeau, Benjamin Constant ou encore James Joyce. Dans sa considérable présentation, Serge Vincendet détaille les techniques verbales utilisées par celui qui voulait «&amp;nbsp;réagir contre la pauvreté des textes de chansons&amp;nbsp;». Étourdissant. Monumental. Bien sûr, indispensable.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Guy Darol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guydarol.fr/images/medium_mur-gainsbourg-aaa-2.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0.7em 0px; border-width: 0px;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.guydarol.fr/images/medium_mur-gainsbourg-aaa-2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;medium_mur-gainsbourg-aaa-2.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guydarol.fr/images/medium_numeriser0015.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0.7em 0px; border-width: 0px;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.guydarol.fr/images/medium_numeriser0015.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;medium_numeriser0015.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BARTILLAT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;2, rue Crébillon&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;75006 Paris&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Tel : 01 40 51 82 60&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999900;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
