L’autobiographie et le palimpseste auctorial chez Agnès Desarthe
The Autobiography and the Auctorial Palimpsest in Agnès Desarthe’s Work

Summary/Abstract: The autobiography of a consecrated writer implicitly includes a redefinition of the complex relationships between reading and writing. The story of Agnès Desarthe, Comment j’ai appris à lire (2013) provides an unprecedented restitution and reconstitution of reading experiences, a topic that claims the identity of not liking reading. Our approach aims to identify the configurations of self-representation and self-reference, specific to a retrospective exploration approach made by the writer. The purpose of our analysis is to determine the specificity of the creation process and the conduct of the creating subject in the particular case of a paradoxical detour where writing is the necessary step in learning to read.
