Le no-man’s land surpeuplé de l’écriture dans Plays Well with Others d’Allan Gurganus

Résumé

In Plays Well with Others (1997), Allan Gurganus’s novel about the AIDS pandemic which decimated the New York gay community in the eighties, the author makes a plea against sectarianism and exclusion. The purpose of this paper is to show how Allan Gurganus’s rejection of closed territories manifests itself literally through his experimental and generous writing. By systematically playing with syntax, lexis, punctuation…, but also with genre and various forms of artistic expression, Gurganus stretches the limits of language and of fiction, thus redefining open aesthetic spaces.
