Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author develops the narrative, stylistic and thematic strategies implemented in two novels published by two contemporary Belgian Francophone novelists: Eugène Savitzkaya En vie and Colette Nys-Mazure Célébration du quotidien. These two texts belong to a movement of contemporary narrative fiction that is related to the taxonomy of “positive minimalism” promoted by Rémi Bertrand, and the major features of which are much related to everyday life.
