Abstract

The goal of this article is to analyse two novels, Le procès-verbal (1963) by Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio and Comiche (1971) by Gianni Celati. In the first part of the essay, I will illustrate the cultural common ground in which the two books were born. In the second part of the essay, I will analyse the two novels, demonstrating how the authors aim to alter the forms of the diary-novel and epistolary novel.
