Michel Lacroix, « Le « galérien du style » et le « grand jeu » de « l’interviouwe ». Écriture et médiatisation littéraire chez Louis-Ferdinand Céline », Études littéraires, ID : 10.7202/037967ar
Between 1945 and 1955, the serialisation of radio literary interviews made them a crucial genre in the mediatisation of literary figures and the crowning of their career. With his Entretiens avec le Professeur Y, published in 1954 and 1955, Louis-Ferdinand Céline used the genre but gave it a peculiar twist through fiction. Even while assuming the “paratextual work” of self-promotion, implicit in the interview, he subverted its logic by posing as a violent clown and making a manifesto of the genre on the “textualisation of orality”.
