If one had to define, in a single sentence, literature from Homer to Faulkner, one could say that it is the world seen by writers. The facts, which were experienced by warriors, rough sailors, hallucinating knights, were never delivered as they had happened, in the moment, for those concerned, but as imagined by scholars sitting apart, more or less long after.

“The transfer of initiative into the hands of the working class,” the 1930s, are a crucial pivot of Pierre Bergounioux's historical visions. William Faulkner is its embodiment, he marks the rupture: from now on the writer will be immersed in the world. With a prose without fat, Pierre Bergounioux articulates around this idea a coherent world with surprising perspectives on the act of writing. One may not adhere to these biases, the essential lies elsewhere: for him, it is a question, with regard to Faulkner, whom he claims as a tutelary figure, of showing how speech is removed against a background of millennial silence.
