Le narrateur, ayant surv\u00e9cu, on ne sait ni comment ni pourquoi, \u00e0 la fin du monde, se retrouve seul dans un village d\u00e9sert quelque part dans la montagne. Il s’est install\u00e9 confortablement dans une petite maison traditionnelle \u00e0 deux pas de la fontaine, entreprend de piller syst\u00e9matiquement les demeures voisines, et, miracle de la litt\u00e9rature !, trouve dans les cuisines et les celliers de quoi soutenir un si\u00e8ge : de la nourriture, de l’alcool, et… C’est bien assez lui semble-t-il. Il passe ses premiers jours dans cet univers post-apocalyptique \u00e0 cueillir des baies au bord des chemins, r\u00e9colter des fruits dans les vergers qui bordent la rivi\u00e8re, faire ami-ami avec toutes les b\u00eates qui ont pris possession des alentours – b\u00eates redevenues sauvages, ayant repris leur libert\u00e9 pour ainsi dire.<\/p>\n

Mais au bout de quelques jours, il prend conscience qu’il manque cruellement de litt\u00e9rature. Il n’avait apport\u00e9 dans son sac \u00e0 dos qu’une liseuse \u00e9lectronique (car la fin du monde l’a surpris alors qu’il randonnait, disons : dans les C\u00e9vennes), mais, \u00e0 la fin du monde comme chacun sait, l’\u00e9lectricit\u00e9 ne sera plus qu’un souvenir. Le voil\u00e0 donc, d\u00e9laissant sa liseuse \u00e0 jamais en panne, \u00e0 la recherche d’un livre \u00e0 l’ancienne, fa\u00e7onn\u00e9 d’encre et de papier. Il fouille dans les maisonn\u00e9es, fait le tour avec soin des \u00e9tag\u00e8res, ouvre les tiroirs, explore les tables de nuit, devient f\u00e9brile, ressent d\u00e9j\u00e0 la douleur caus\u00e9e par cette privation des plus atroces – et, alors que la cause lui parait d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9e, miracle de la litt\u00e9rature !, il tombe sur un carton cach\u00e9 derri\u00e8re une botte de foin dans un ancienne grange : des livres ! Dans un \u00e9tat pr\u00e9occupant cela dit : les pages gondolent et l’encre s’efface, les couvertures se d\u00e9litent et, pour \u00eatre honn\u00eate, la plupart sont illisibles. Il fait le tri.<\/p>\n

De la litt\u00e9rature populaire, essentiellement. Des polars de gare, des romances \u00e0 la Harlequin, des livres du terroir – et le d\u00e9sespoir le saisit : se pourrait-il qu’il soit condamn\u00e9 \u00e0 se contenter de cette prose inf\u00e2me, lui qui ne jurait, avant cette d\u00e9licieuse fin du monde, que par William Gaddis, Thomas Pynchon et Arno Schmidt ?<\/p>\n

Cruelle ironie du destin, fatale vengeance des Muses (pour quelque turpitude commise autrefois – il n’en manque pas), et, ramenant tout de m\u00eame cet ignoble carton jusqu’\u00e0 sa demeure, m\u00fb par quelque attachement f\u00e9tichiste \u00e0 la chose mat\u00e9rielle – l’objet-livre -, plus qu’\u00e0 son contenu id\u00e9el, il se lamente sur son sort funeste et entreprend l’intol\u00e9rable travail de deuil.<\/p>\n

Quelques jours, encore, passent – on peut faire confiance aux jours pour passer, nous rapprochant chaque matin un peu plus de la mort -, et, feuillant nonchalamment quelques pages au hasard de cette litt\u00e9rature m\u00e9diocre, il lui vient un id\u00e9e : Pourquoi donc, se dit-il, n’entreprendrai-je pas de les am\u00e9liorer, ces livres ? De les reprendre \u00e0 nouveaux frais, de les soumettre \u00e0 quelque traitement formel exp\u00e9rimental de mon cru, de les perturber quelque peu ? L’auteur ne m’en voudra pas si je bouleverse son histoire de secr\u00e9taire de mairie qui rencontre, sur le pont d’un navire de croisi\u00e8re le richissime h\u00e9ritier du tr\u00f4ne de je ne sais quel royaume, apr\u00e8s quoi se noue une idylle passionn\u00e9e etc., il ne m’en voudra pas, tout d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 qu’il est, et, le droit d’auteur \u00e9tant ce qu’il est d\u00e9sormais, et le droit positif en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral (pour le droit naturel, c’est une autre affaire), rien ne m’emp\u00eache d’\u00e9crire moi-m\u00eame la litt\u00e9rature que je voudrais lire.<\/p>\n

(la suite du r\u00e9cit consiste donc en la re-\u00e9criture d’un roman \u00e0 l’eau de rose, etc.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
