In Roland Barthes's eyes, Philippe Sollers embodied the figure of
the contemporary writer forever seeking something new. Thirty-six
years after Barthes produced his study Sollers Writer, Sollers has
written a book on the man who was his friend and who shared with
him a total faith in literature as a force of invention and
discovery, as a resource and an encyclopaedia. They met regularly,
exchanged many letters and fought many battles together, against
every kind of academicism, every political and ideological
regression. Barthes shed light on Sollers's work in a series of
articles that are still of great relevance today. Sollers, in turn,
assumed the role of Barthes's publisher at Le Seuil from the
publication of his Critical Essays in 1964, and was left deeply
shocked and saddened by Barthes's death in 1980. In short, they
were very close to each other, despite their differences, and
Sollers expresses here what this meant at the time and what it
continues to represent, highlighting the themes that sustained
their friendship. The book also contains some thirty letters from
Barthes to Sollers, completing our image of one of the most
extraordinary partnerships in French literary life.
