André Gide

Le "Journal des Faux-Monnayeurs" est le long dialogue de Gide avec ses personnages au fur et à mesure de leur création. C'est aussi son "cahier d'étude" qui permet de mieux sentir le mécanisme créateur du grand romancier.

Just wrote a review on Les Faux-monnayeurs that briefly shows my thoughts on Gide and this novel, so I won't say much on the journals other than the fact that it was definitely interesting to see exactly what the author was thinking when he was deciding how to write his book. It could have felt like entering forbidden territory but it didn't, as Gide's voice is very similar to that of the narrator and of Edouard, so the journal felt more or less like a fitting piece in the puzzle.
