| Summary: | A philosopher by vocation, Michel Tournier grants a key role to the problem of interpretation. As is well known, the main characters in his novels –Robinson, Abel Tiffauges, Alexandre– are character- ized by an exceptional avidity, which leads them to systematically examine the ele- ments of outer reality as signs of their own destiny. However, the great merit of the novelist lies in managing to pass that obses- sion on to the reader, who, in turn and in front of Tournier’s text, is forced to choose between the insufficient and the excessive interpretation, and, more generally, to con- sider the question of the limits of interpre- tation. |
