Anthology of daily newspaper of Philippe Delerm

Philippe Delerm's short texts are subtly suffused with a sort of phenomenology of the everyday, in which moments of time are apprehended from an openly Epicurean point of view. The fact that the reader quickly finds himself caught up in these florilegia of the everyday raises the question of the rhetorical and fictional devices used by the author to draw the reader in.. This analysis, based on many examples, highlights Delerm's aesthetics of fragmentation : narration is suspended and the reader is surreptitiously driven to espouse the point of view expressed at the close. The problem of time plays a central role in Delerm's creations, as if to highlight the evanescence of happiness.
