Summary: | In Daniel Fabre’s work, texts are not second to human experience. They are not at a distance; not even in relation to the experience of which they speak. They are here. With him, we finally come to see that they are here. This article is a journey through some of the proposals made by Daniel Fabre from the 1980s to 2016, about the presence of writings in history and in our present. He has outlined a reflection on the side steps he can make in relation to the discussions on the epistemological status of texts, on the truths of fiction or the truths of literature, or on the questions of models, traditions, breaks. It partially accounts for the great diversity of writings – known or unknown, the most canonized or the most local – which Daniel Fabre dealt with.
