This book does not pretend in any way to present a panorama of the current French narrative, but only some strands of the literary network that weave today hundreds of hands and French-speaking voices. The proliferating and excessive nature of this work excludes the enumeration of all its knots: it does not seem to make sense to inventory an exuberance that should be continually redefined. The very idea of ​​the panorama is rejected by the contemporary taste, which privileges the fragment (according to its possibilities), and which finds the figure of its desire in the incomplete.
