Summary/Abstract: Studies presented in this volume focus on representations of the city in today's French and francophone narrative prose. Two areas of research are favoured: problems of decentralization of the city in its material and non-material dimensions, as well as the urban space as a place of sedimentation of individual and collective memory. The volume includes thetexts concerning Jean Echenoz, Jean-Philippe Toussaint, François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters, Antoine Volodine, Annie Ernaux, Assia Djebar, Guy Vaes, Patrick Modiano and Alain Fleischer.
