Abstract

This article is a personal account of Gaëtan Brulotte’s conception of literary creation as a Canadian francophone writer. Using his latest collection of short stories as his starting point, Brulotte takes the reader behind the scenes of the writing of La contagion du réel (2014), which received the Grand Prix de littérature Gérald-Godin in 2015. This account most notably reveals the sources of inspiration for the collection and certain aspects related to the origins of the stories. The author defines the meaning of the title by distinguishing between positive and negative contagion and between “Real” and “Reality,” a point at the heart of his creative enterprise, whereby Reality is infinitely more variable than the Real. While adopting the point of view of the author, Brulotte also examines the main themes of his collection and underscores what literature means to him. Here, he also shares his experience as a writer of a literary genre that has its own aesthetic particularities. In a condensed version of his vision of creative writing, he finally touches on the importance that the narrative form and style holds in his writings and how, for him, this aspect is a vital force that shapes and gives style to our existence as a whole.

摘要

本文是对加坦·布鲁洛特（GaëtanBrulotte）作为加拿大法语作家的文学创作观念的个人描述。布鲁洛特以最新的短篇小说集为起点，将读者带到了《法国传染病》的幕后。（2014年），该奖项于2015年获得了法国文学奖葛拉尔德·戈丁大奖。该作品最显着地揭示了该系列的灵感来源以及与故事起源相关的某些方面。作者通过区分正向传播和负向传播以及“真实”和“现实”之间的区别来定义标题的含义，这是其创作事业的核心，即现实比现实无限多变。在采纳作者观点的同时，布鲁洛特还考察了他的收藏的主要主题，并强调了文学对他的意义。在这里，他还分享了自己的文学创作经验，该文学创作具有自己的美学特色。在他的创意写作构想的精简版中，
