Article Description

This article presents the main personality traits of Jean de Tinan and characteristics of his writing which is the notation of emotional crisis suffered by this prematurely died writer of fin-de-siècle. His desperate quest for love connected with “impotence of loving” reflects in imperfections and hy-bridity of literary creation. Autofictive texts of this author (Un document sur l’impuissance d’aimer and especially Penses-tu réussir!) indicate the crisis of novel: composed of notes, pieces of prefaces and different text excerpts these texts are written in spontaneous style, often metadiscursive and discontinuous. However, behind the negligence about format and style lays sincere emotion. Tinan’s writing is kind of asylum for the ill man. By showing suffering, it gives him kind of alleviation. This article proposes the reflexion about compensable function of Tinan’s writing.
