Abstract
This essay explores the narrative connections between Jean-Luc Godard's cinema (mostly represented by 2 ou 3 choses que je sais d’elle, 1967) and Anne Hébert's complex novel, Le Premier jardin (Éditions du Boréal, 1988), and establishes that the style of the latter is inextricably linked to the cinematic techniques of the former. These connections transform Hébert's writing into a surrogate visual narrative. Literary and visual narratives overlap in the work of both authors, though, which leads to an aesthetic identity crisis for both novel (writing) and film (filmmaking).
