Aperçu
In tracing Rétif's persistent but frustrated attempts to reconcile the conflicting elements of the world he inhabits — rural and urban, old and new, stable and changing — this volume analyses the failure of his utopian dream of a well-ordered and harmonious society. By exploring his absorption in the autobiographical project, and in particular Monsieur Nicolas ou le cœur humain dévoilé, it offers an interpretation of his work as a sustained reflection on selfhood and on the power of memory which enables Rétif to create, within the confines of the text, a utopian space where self and world are reconciled, and time and space no longer count.
