REVENGE OF THE NOVEL: ROGER CAILLOIS'S LITERARY CRITICISM IN THE WAKE OF THE 1930S.

May 1, 1998... Ayant tout au long de sa vie resiste, ou du moins oppose beaucoup de reticences a la publication de sa poesie, Catherine Pozzi consentit enfin a ce que fussent reunies en une plaquette, apres sa mort, les six pieces qui constituent l'essentiel...
LE PARCOURS ZOLIEN DE JEAN ECHENOZ.
