| Riassunto: | Le Tramway, Claude Simon’s last novel, is not to be taken lightly, quite the contrary. Between image and film, it is the frame that allows us to transit through all the themes of the work to reach the end point, a final period as heavy, imposing and solemn as a war memorial on which are engraved not only the history of France but also the family history of the author. This short text between life and death is therefore to the work what a memorial is to the war, since it commemorates those who have done the work and honours not only the father but also the mother who, a priori, has no reason to figure on this monument. And yet, against all odds, it is she who is erected, and in the strangest of ways since it is the whole relationship between biography and fiction that is thus put into question. |
