- Abstract
- (en) "Un été" by Vincent Almendros (Minuit, 2015) can be read as a rewriting of "Pierre et Jean", a point seemingly missed by the reviewer. If the hypotext is very skilfully concealed, throughout the whole of the first part of the story, it flares into view in the course of an adulterous love scene, a pivotal moment, which reveals, for the first and only time, the narrator’s first name. Going deeper, studying the connexions (faithful or otherwise) that the novel makes with Pierre et Jean provides an opportunity not only to reflect on the notion of rewriting but also to develop a particular pedagogical perspective: in our view it would be interesting to use the ‘authentic co-speaker role arising in the space between the writing and the reading’ (Wagner, 2002) that this literary practice bestows upon the reader.
