Example text
Je suis d’autant plus étonné par la maigreur du propos, dans cette introduction, que je viens de lire, de la plume du même Jean-François Chassay, un article remarquable, « La science à l’essai65 », où il examine consciencieusement, chez deux scientifiques essayistes, Jean-Marc Lévy-Leblond et Laurent-Michel Vacher, la forte présence du sujet attestée par un investissement passionné dans la langue de leurs écrits respectifs. LUI – Au contraire, dans l’anthologie de Laurent Mailhot66, on peut dire que la table est mise, et copieusement : une étude de soixante pages pour présenter les textes !
Puis-je suggérer qu’on pourrait d’abord libérer l’essai d’approximations comme « l’essai proprement dit » ou de pléonasmes comme « l’essai littéraire » ou « l’essayiste écrivain », quitte à redonner au mot essai sa pleine valeur suggestive. ��. Milan Kundera, « Préface », dans François Ricard, La littérature contre elle-même, Montréal, Les Éditions du Boréal Express, 1985, p. 8. Int. indd 37 12/1/08 2:28:49 PM 24 Acte I Dialogue sur l’essai et la culture L’AUTRE – Si j’ai bien compris, cher ami, il ne semble pas inutile de revenir encore de nos jours sur les paramètres de l’essai.
Analogie éclairante : la musique aussi a un sens mais il faut passer par les sons pour l’appréhender. Exemple récent, déjà cité, celui de l’essai d’Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt, Ma vie avec Mozart, une vie qui a retrouvé sens et direction au contact d’un musicien. LUI – J’aimerais joindre à cette réflexion sur le statut littéraire ambigu de l’essai un témoignage que je trouve particulièrement pénétrant, celui de Pierre Vadeboncœur, auteur d’un très bel essai intitulé Les deux royaumes99. Les lecteurs ont réservé à cette œuvre un accueil enthousiaste, dont on peut lire un écho dans une « réflexion à plusieurs voix suscitée par le livre de Vadeboncœur », publiée dans la revue Liberté100.
