À toi by Kim Thúy and Pascal Janovjak : What is the Power of Literature ? This article reflects on new literary practices engendered by digital media, based on the exchange of emails between Kim Thúy, a Quebec writer of Vietnamese origin, and Pascal Janovjak, a French-speaking Swiss author of Franco-Slovak origin, published in 2011 under the title À toi. The paper shows that the book in question, conceived primarily as a tool for self-knowledge, is also a tool for understanding the world. Keywords (En): published emails; new literary practice; tool for self-knowledge; transmission of knowledge Mots-clés (Fr) : courriels publiés ; nouvelle pratique littéraire ; outil de connaissance de soi ; transmission des savoirs
