Abstract

Althought it was written in 1967, Jean-Marc Lovay’s novel Epitre aux Martiens was published in 2004 (Editons Zoe). Published when so important books as La Tentation de l’Orient (1970), Polenta (1980), or Aucun de mes os ne sera troue pour servir de flute enchantee (1998) had already insured their author’s fame, this novel reveals itself as an important introduction to a difficult author, but much aware of contemporary word. Our analysis will focus the origins of this novel; reading Lovay’s evoques the work on French Language pursued by other important Swiss writers, as Maurice Chappaz. Keywords: Jean-Marc Lovay, Maurice Chappaz, literary writing, catastrophe, human condition
