L'expression du corps dans une difficile fin de moi de ahmed zitouni

Abstract EN

The body writing is at the same time the essence and the matter, the substance and the form, the subject and the object, the heart and the reason of Zitouni’s emblematic novel: Une difficile fin de moi.

The narrator unfolds his body through the speech of his memory, and the writing itself becomes living and mortified flesh by the very peculiar enunciative situation of a crumbling and disappearing man through his narrative, thus he sacrifices himself in order for his story to survive and his past to finally have a value.
