Abstract
Drawing on Jean-Joseph Goux's analysis of André Gide's The Counterfeiters as the book accounting the modern financial representation with the disappearance of gold money, this article aims to show that novelisation of the 2008 economic crisis in Les Effondrés leads Mathieu Larnaudie to display the crisis of language itself. In the ruins of the defunct liberal economy, Larnaudie excavates the ideology that has led his characters into turmoil only to produce a narration in which the absolute present of the narration both performs and withholds the catastrophe.
