Christine Angot, “queen of autofiction”, writes down her most intimate thoughts. Her writing has always been characterised by the ambiguity of its context, renowned for an abundance of contradictions. By declaring herself homosexual and homophobe, her injurious confessions made her writing an example of social irreverence. The reader is obliged to think again and reflect on what society and its restraints consider to be “politically correct”. We will show how her will to shock in order to have a reaction could be considered a kind of post-modernism “engagement” of the writer. The reader is obliged to think about his own prejudices and to fight them, even if there is for the author the risk of a definitive reject. |
