Autopsie de la mémoire fuyante dans Mille ans, un jour d’Edmond Amran El Maleh

In modern literature, the inability to fully capture memory reflects the disintegration of the subject. The latter, navigating a fluid and unstable memory, strives to find stability by anchoring itself to solid references. This is notably illustrated in the works of Edmond Amran El Maleh, a Moroccan author writing in French. His texts emphasize fragmentation as a dom-inant feature, employing experimental techniques shaped by an imagination drawn toward obscurity. These techniques illuminate the past reality of the writer. For example, in Mille ans, un jour, the narrative structure prioritizes sensory subtleties. A lack of clarity, combined with an existence suspended between dreaming and hallucination, is channeled into a sensory memory that restores order to this fluidity.
