Le je(u) entre confession et confection : Désir de soi, délice de l’autre dans Lolita, Blue Calhoun et Ma Chère Lise

Gerald Preher

Résumé

This study focuses on three novels whose narrative framework centers on desire. It shows how, through confession-testimonies, the narrators of Vladimir Nabokov, Reynolds Price and Vincent Almendros reflect upon a key moment in their lives: their encounter with a young girl with whom they finally tasted the forbidden fruit. Through such texts in which the relationship to time and death is central, the reader is confronted with characters who veil while unveiling their stories, who assert their presence while disappearing from view. The narrator is thus witness to a rebirth of which he is paradoxically the instigator. Indeed, as a willing victim of skilled manipulators, he creates his own image of the narrator – whether he finds extenuating or incriminating circumstances for him. This analysis will show how a game is set up between the narrator and the reader, how the narrator invents himself by reviving his desire for a lost object – the text becoming the ultimate object, the trace of a past that never ceases to be present.
