Description
Summary:Based on the assumption that the contemporary Swiss author Noëlle Revaz uses vagueness as an aesthetic strategy, this article examines the various manifestations of vagueness in Rapport aux bêtes (With the Animals), the author’s first novel, and in Efina, a work which, apart from its lacunar structure and a high frequency of words with floating meanings, is also characterised by generic ambiguity. By noting the effect of all these types of vagueness on the reader’s imagination, the article demonstrates the aesthetic effectiveness of vagueness in Noëlle Revaz’s novels and highlights the sharpness of her vision.
