- True, False, Fictive. The adversary by Emmanuel Carrère and the ambiguity of the non-fiction novel
- Vero, falso, finto. L’adversaire di Emmanuel Carrère e l’ambiguità del romanzo non-finzionale
- Fastelli, Federico
Description
- The essay deals with the ambiguity of the contemporary non-fiction novel, taking the cue from The adversary by Carrère and its relation with In cold Blood by Truman Capote, the masterpiece of non-fictional novels. In cold Blood – I argue – we can identify a change in the perception of the dialectic link between truth and literature, and on the latter’s tasks. I argue that this change relies upon a particular mix-up of reality and truth.
- L'articolo analizza il celebre romanzo L'Adversaire (2000) di Emmanuel Carrère e ne discute le strategie retoriche, in contrapposizione con il modello per eccellenza del romanzo non-finzionale, ovverosia In Cold Blood di Truman Capote. Tale confronto si apre ad una riflessione più generale sul cosiddetto non-fiction novel, e sul rapporto ambiguo che si intrattiene in esso tra realtà e finzione, nonché tra verità e falsità.
