Perhaps it's not surprising that the relationship between journalism and literature is still surrounded by many identifications, since we can't conceive of one without the other. And if literature, as Jean Paul Sartre puts it, "throws you into battle; writing is a certain way of wanting to free yourself; if you've started willingly or by force, you're committed". The aim of journalism, meanwhile, as writer, artist and broadcaster Patrick Poivre D'Arvor explains, "is neither to displease nor to please. It's about stirring the pen in the wound. Today, the feather is the microphone and the camera".Along the way, in this collection of disparate journalistic and literary writings, the author offers us a reading of two genres of writing published according to the events experienced both within his academic and social environment, having characterized his spatiotemporal experience.
