Here David Ellison explores the problems encountered by France's best experimental authors writing between 1956 and 1984, when faced with the question: "What should my writing be about?" These years are characterized by the rise of the "new novelists," who questioned the representational function of writing as they created works of imagination that turned in upon themselves and away from exterior reality. It became fashionable at one point to affirm that literature was no longer about the world but uniquely about the words on a page, the signifying surface of the text. Ellison tests this assumption, showing that even in the most seemingly self-referential fictions the words point to the world from which they can never completely separate themselves. Through close readings Ellison examines the novels and theoretical writings of authors whose works are fundamental to our perception of contemporary French writing and thought: Camus, Robbe-Grillet, Simon, Duras, Sarraute, Blanchot, and Beckett. The result is a new understanding of the link between the referential function of literary language and the problematic of the ethics of fiction.

« Je ne suis pas moderne », jetait Camus en manière de défi. C’est que le classicisme tragique de l’écrivain donna le vrai ton de notre modernité après Auschwitz. En alerte nouvelle, la méditation de Camus valait de s’inscrire depuis le nihilisme dont, sous le nom d’absurde, il fit le diagnostic et la généalogie sans concevoir de s’y soumettre, d’y sacrifier la joie d’exister ou d’en accommoder le désastre sous quelque promesse de rédemption. Albert Camus prit la mesure d’un âge dominé par un régime de la raison s’autorisant de justifier la terreur au titre d’un progrès inéluctable de l’Histoire. Son souci fut du temps, jamais exactement au rendez-vous des hommes. Haussant cette plainte du temps en interpellation, il y médita l’idée de notre communauté. Aujourd’hui, l’actualité de l’œuvre de Camus fait symptôme pour notre époque : les auteurs lisent ensemble essai et poème, interrogent les signes rompus et précurseurs d’une démocratie à venir. Ils saluent une œuvre radicale, qui arpente les figures du mal, demande que l’homme réenchante le visage de la terre, nous aide à requalifier notre présent.
