The archaeology of writing in Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio

In a Le Clézio context, whether autobiographical or biographical with varying degrees of fictionalization, we examine the processes of literary transmutation between the inspired experience of family life and the archaeology of writing; in particular, we explore the repercussions induced by the emotions retained in memory, which Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio manages to translate into his works, which are a whiff of the history of his relatives, whether near or far. Even if he doesn’t manage to be faithful, trait for trait, to the lived experience that he harmonizes according to his inspiration, the fact remains that with Le Clézio, the adventure relating to the archaeology of writing participates in a certain connection with literary science.
