Abstract

The analysis of the aesthetics of heterogeneity in Cris, a novel by the French writer Laurent Gaudé, and the link between this aesthetics and the writer's writing are at the heart of our reflection in this article. In this fragmented text, Gaudé ingeniously brings together two literary genres, creating an "impure" and chaotic literary universe. Generic hybridity and polyphony become the characteristics of this aesthetic of heterogeneity. This leads us to question the generic identity that vacillates between novel and theater. Moreover, through his writing, Gaudé aims to paint the contemporary Western world after the disillusionment of the modern project and its impact on society and the individual.
