| Description | In this article, we address several aspects of the dynamics between author, narrator and reader. To accomplish this goal, we proceed to analyze the novel Verre cassé by Alain Mabanckou, who is an example of globalized and hybrid Francophone writing. More precisely, we examine the role of the active reader, a narrator's « accomplice », who accepts the challenge and the pleasure of reading, or rather the play of deciphering a novel full of intertextual references. And still more in particular, by a close reading of this novel, the superficial reading of which is rather easy, but which is hiding a profound and deeply literary reading level, we shall look for the model reader of the text. |
