Objectives

The program will be focused on writers who call, starting from the title of one of Agota Kristof’s novels, Analphabètes, namely all those foreign writers who have chosen to write in French some of their works and have become an essential part of the literary history of France. Students will be provided the tools of critical and methodological basics for the analysis of the literary text.
