Réécriture et auto-réécriture dans Opération Rimbaud de Jacques Godbout

Ewa Figas

Abstract

The article traces rewriting and auto-rewriting strategies in Jacques Godbout’s “Operation Rimbaud” (1999), which revisits places and people from his former novel “Aquarium” (1962). The paper shows how in his latest novel Godbout returns to revolutionary Harar, Ethiopia, which Rimbaud visited, once again creating the character of a corrupted priest. Godbout rewrites Rimbaud’s biography, revising at the same time the biblical story of the Decalogue Tablets, as well as reminisces about his stay in Ethiopia.

Key words: Godbout; “Operation Rimbaud”; “Aquarium”; Decalogue; rewriting; Ethiopia
