Writers import_2021_09_03_212112 the TroublesHere we have the anatomy of the contemporary writer, imagined by the pseudonymous, "post exotic" Antoine Volodine. His writers are not the familiar, bitter, alcoholic kind; nor are they great, romantic, tortured geniuses; and least of all are they media darlings and socialites. In Volodine's universe, the writer is pitted in a pathetic struggle against silence and sickness, when she is not about to be murdered by random lunatics or fellow inmates.
