description Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway is the major intertext of Les Veilleurs de chagrin, Nicole Roland’s novel. Not only is Mrs Dalloway omnipresent by the numerous quotations and allusions to it, but a copy of the book circulates with the protagonist travelling in Kosovo. This community of books, in the way it is drawn between the two novels, questions the way Virginia Woolf conceives commonality and achieves it at the same time. We will demonstrate in this paper that this conception of commonality is linked to ‘survivance’, as Georges Didi-Huberman has defined it, and that this conception describes perfectly the relation between Mrs Dalloway and its French intertext.
