Features: Jean Echenoz has already made a profound mark on the literary landscape of France. This may be because his works tell us better and more powerfully than others' works. Also, because he somehow occupies our era, with his language and way of thinking, lifestyle, new cultural practices, and his own imagination, using parody spirit and false indifference that have become symbols of the era's cognition. Finally, there is the art of capturing fragments of meaning in the pretense of insignificant small 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 Brevault, 1990, éditions Messidor).
