Editions P.O.L - Oeuvres II - Guillaume Dustan», sur www.pol-editeur.com (consulté le 8 avril 2022) At night, you don’t talk about obvious things.” In Guillaume Dustan’s 1997 novel I’m Going Out Tonight —an account of a single evening at Gay Tea Dance, a nineties party hosted at Parisian nightclub La Loco—what is spoken of is, if not limited, then vastly simplified. At the nightclub, “you don’t talk about work, or money, or books, or records, or films,” says Dustan’s protagonist, who shares his name with the author. “You only act. Speech is action. Always on the lookout. Gestures charged with meaning.” Student presentation task: Is Dans ma chambre a dangerous book? Justify your answer by analysing examples from the text and relevant secondary literature.
WK: Because the ass, his ass, the partner’s ass, like Eugène Atget’s Paris, isn’t going to be around much longer. So film it. Film it right now. Stintless documentation. I run a one-term final-year undergraduate module on literary representations of sex and sexuality ( FR357 Sex and Sexuality in Contemporary French Writing), a second-year module on the French prison, a final-year module on policing in France and I also occasionally teach FR345 Modern French Thinkers. How is Guillaume being passed over for awkwardness, for not being top enough, for wearing shoes that are too big all that different from an approaching guy seeing my chest scars and turning away?About what is Dustan affirmative in Dans ma chambre? To what extent does the book allow and encourage the reader to share his enthusiasms? Guillaume Dustan's first three novels, published in France between 1996 and 1998, describing the narrator's sexual odyssey through a Paris still haunted by AIDS. Historically speaking, 'public health' and policies enacted in its name have seldom been politically neutral. Together with Douglas Morrey, I organised a research workshop focused around Le Manifeste conspirationniste. Link opens in a new windowWe plan to publish a selection of papers from this workshop.

Published sequentially in France between 1996 and 1998, the three novels are exuberant and deliberately affectless accounts of the narrator’s sexual odyssey through a Parisian club and bath scene still haunted by AIDS.

BH: And his own hairiness! I love that we see him trimmed but not shaved in Songs in the key of moi and then really heavily pelted elsewhere.
