About the Book

Cet ouvrage est consacré à l'oeuvre d'Albert Cossery, auteur de huit romans parus entre 1941 et 1999. Après un bref descriptif des oeuvres de Cossery, sont analysés successivement les personnages, les structures de l'intrigue qui sert de prétexte à un foisonnement d'historiettes, l'évolution des idées de l'auteur et son « égyptianité ». Si les personnages des premiers récits de Cossery croient encore à la possibilité de l'action politique, allant jusqu'à esquisser des gestes révolutionnaires, ceux de la maturité, joyeux drilles et généralement marginaux, correspondant à divers archétypes qu'on retrouve sous des noms différents tout au long de son oeuvre, pratiquent l'« abstentionnisme » politique, se refusant à toute collaboration avec les hommes de pouvoir, qu'on ne peut combattre que par la dérision. Il s'agit d'une « philosophie » anti-révolutionnaire et humaniste à la fois: c'est en effet dans l'amitié et dans les plaisirs du quotidien que l'on trouve une raison d'être. L'intrigue des romans de Cossery conduit rarement à un dénouement, au sens classique du terme; c'est le parcours qui prime sur l'aboutissement et c'est en cela que le récit a du charme. Âgé de 94 ans, il s'est éteint à Paris le 22 juin 2008, après une vie exemplaire passée à recréer par les mots et en français, son Égypte natale.
About the Author: L'auteur: David L. Parris enseigne la littérature française au Trinity College de Dublin (Irlande), depuis 1972. Après des études « classiques » à Oxford (Moyen-Âge et Grand Siècle), il s'oriente vers les littératures francophones, principalement celles du Québec et de la Suisse romande, mais s'intéresse aussi aux littératures qu'on pourrait prétendre « marginales ».
