Features: Jean Arceneaux has left an indelible mark on the literary landscape of France, perhaps because his works tell us better and more powerfully than others'. Also, because he somehow occupies our era, with his language and thought habits, lifestyle, new cultural practices, and his own imagination, through the mimetic spirit and false indifference that make him a symbol of the era's consciousness. Finally, there is the art of capturing fragments of meaning in the pretense of insignificant events. Jean-Claude Lebrun is a professor and hosts a literary column in Le Monde. He has published The Field of the New Novel (co-authored with Claude Brevo, 1990, Editions Messidor).
