Sommario/riassunto

Examines the minimalist trend in French writing since the early 1980s. Considering the practice of minimalism in other media, such as the plastic arts and music, this book proposes a theoretical model of minimalist literature. It also focuses on the work of a variety of contemporary French writers and a diversity of literary genres.
