| Summary: | Michel Houellebecq and Jacques Chessex are two contemporary literary successes, apparently opposed in everything: the first one, French, is an urban writer, faithful to scientism, with a flat style that is according to his depressive vision of the world; the second one, Swiss, is a metaphysician passionate about nature, who uses with virtuosity a lyric prose to express fiery passions. However, they both use their pen as an act of “social irreverence” turned to what “it’s not socially convenient to write”, in parallel with a sui generis mediatic posture. Two singular careers of the politically incorrect whose sharing zones and escape lines we will try to analyse. |
