Abstract

In his novel Oreille rouge published in 2005, the french writer Éric Chevillard draws on a trip to Mali to better subvert all the codes of a travel story. In this deconstructivist project, the author uses repetition to deride the obsessions of the “traveller writer”, to denounce his claim to restore the complexity of the African reality and to undermine the stereotyped vision he would like to give.
