We bet it's them?
Zebulon: How does one become as learned as you? Do you keep records? How many books are there in your library? Do you think it necessary to have read a lot to become a writer?
Philippe Sollers: A writer without a library is like a pianist without hands, and we must constantly repeat the formula for how to write, must read, and read, he must live.
Viva: Do you have followers, or did you refuse to be a master? Anyway, what are the young French writers and encourage you that you think they will do a work that count?
Philippe Sollers: I spend my time to support writers younger than me, because I would not want their age now where everything is much more difficult. Just two names: my comrades and friends of the journal Line risk, Yannick Haenel and Francis Meyronnes. Immediately read the book by David Di Nota, Bambipark , which will make you the most good in the description of the humanitarian disaster.
nora: You seem indifferent to insults, which according to Sartre and Beauvoir, you have some kind of record, even if Christine Angot is set to join the club insulted a priori, without even reading them. But is not it a bit boring, this practice, very French at the bottom? I read some harsh criticism in the foreign press, but not this kind of abuse.
Philippe Sollers: There is a French fascist background which is far from gone and is ready to surface at every opportunity. Look what is happening today and extreme appetite for stories of collaboration, for example in the recent book by Dominique Fernandez, French Academy, dedicated to his father, as you'll see a pig with Doriot in the streets of Paris. Insults are invigorating, they show that the bullshit is doing well, which is to my advantage.
Traveler: You are a tireless traveler of space, time and words on paper as on screen. At what age would you want to live?
Philippe Sollers: Today, without a doubt. Anything is possible, better than ever, but it seems like everyone's prohibited. Strange ...
If this is not the FF, it would be a sign that things are going badly.
