Is it still possible to renew the novelistic form? One of the young authors published by Minuit, Eric Laurrent shows that such an enterprise is a not as hopeless as it might seem. Laurrent sets his novel in the genre of the spy novel and hence establishes a communication with the reader deceiving all his expectations. On the one hand, this exaggerated intertextual fullness shows the narrative as an artifical product so as to keep the reader at a certain distance from the fiction. On the other hand, using a series of discours transcending our everyday life, the novel gathers the scattered fragments of the contemporary world. Doing this, it obeys a postmodern aesthetcs which, unlike the modernity, doesn't try to provide an answer to the chaos but integrates it.
