Ann Quin’s Berg and Stewart Home’s 69 Things to Do with a Dead Princess: Schizophrenic Text-Types

In Berg (1964), Ann Quin develops an idiomatic style blending non-linear narration, multiple viewpoints, and stream of consciousness, marked by a poetic lyricism and hallucinogenic registration, in order to explore such topical themes as the search for identity, the influence of the past on the pres...

Dans Berg (1964), Ann Quin développe un style idiomatique mêlant narration non linéaire, points de vue multiples et stream of consciousness, marqué par un lyrisme poétique et un registre hallucinogène, afin d’explorer des thèmes d'actualité tels que la quête d’identité, l’influence du passé sur le présent et les tensions intergénérationnelles. Le roman de Stewart Home, 69 Things to Do with a Dead Princess (2002), reprend certaines des caractéristiques idiosyncrasiques de la poétique de Quin sous la forme d’une parodie du post-postmodernisme littéraire par Home. Sur le plan philosophique, le détour vers Quin par Home se fait à travers le prisme d’Anti-Œdipe de Deleuze et Guattari, et permet également une lecture de l’écriture schizophrénique de Quin en termes de fonction critique. Cet article démontre que la relecture du roman de Quin par Home s’inscrit dans un cadre plus large d'activisme expérimental et que les romans des deux auteurs réalisent des actes ventriloques destinés à déconstruire un certain type de subjectivité littéraire et la forme romanesque elle-même.
