Eric Chevillard

Éric Chevillard (born June 18, 1964 in La Roche-sur-Yon , in the Vendée department , France ) is a French author.

Life

Chevillard graduated from the École supérieure de journalisme de Lille , Département Nord . Since the 1980s, many of his works have been published by Éditions de Minuit in Paris. His writing style is shaped by the fact that he playfully changes the rules of storytelling in such a way that it is sometimes difficult to follow the course of events. Some literary critics refer to his style as postmodern literature .

Chevillard has been a blogger since 2007 . In his blog called L'Autofictif , he writes three short messages or fragments of two to eight lines each day. He describes himself in his blog so that the outlines of his personality can be seen. As the contents of his blog are regularly deleted, he is publishing them word for word for the first time since 2009 in journals published by L'Arbre vengeur . So far, six of these journals have been printed covering the period from 2007 to 2013.
